    C. S. Lewis (2014). “God in the Dock”, p.333, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
  • A man may have to die for our country: but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country.

    C. S. Lewis (2009). “Virtue and Vice: A Dictionary of the Good Life”, p.11, Harper Collins
  • Growing maturity is marked by the increasing liberties we take with our travelling... we made the discovery (some people never make it) that real books can be taken on a journey and that hours of golden reading can so be added to its other delights.

  • Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    C. S. Lewis (2014). “God in the Dock”, p.324, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
  • Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    "The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment". "God in the Dock". Book by C. S. Lewis, 1970.
  • It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

    C. S. Lewis (2014). “God in the Dock”, p.324, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
  • We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

  • Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.45, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
