Results from Cole's Quotables:

Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey "people." People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war.... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest....: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), The Abolition of Man
Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), The Four Loves

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

...that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), from _Mere_Christianity_
Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than minority of them - never become conscious of them all. How much of total reality can such an apparatus let through?: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)

Results from Internet Collections: 20th Century Quotations:

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)

Results from Contributed Quotations:

No one ever told me grief felt so much like fear.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike.: C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963), The Poison of Subjectivism (from Christian Reflections; p. 108)
Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.: C.S. Lewis, Chicken Soup for the Soul (book)
