  • And I say also this. I do not think the forest would be so bright, nor the water so warm, nor love so sweet, if there were no danger in the lakes.

    C.S. Lewis (1996). “Out of the Silent Planet”, p.76, Simon and Schuster
  • Thirst was made for water. Inquiry for truth.

  • Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.

    C. S. Lewis (1980). “Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold”, p.56, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.

  • And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream. But things that many see may have no taste or moment in them at all, and things that are shown only to one may be spears and water-spouts of truth from the very depth of truth.

    Real  
    C. S. Lewis (1980). “Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold”, p.283, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Ah, you've come over the water. Powerful wet stuff, ain't it?

    C. S. Lewis (1997). “The voyage of the Dawn Treader”, HarperCollins Publishers
  • One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting.

    C. S. Lewis (2014). “Image and Imagination”, p.14, Harper Collins
  • Once you were a child. Once you knew what inquiry was for. There was a time when you asked questions because you wanted answers, and were glad when you had found them. Become a child again, even now... You have gone wrong. Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth.

  • We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.

    C. S. Lewis (2009). “Weight of Glory”, p.42, Harper Collins
  • When there came a sound that I'd never heard the like of in all my born days. Eh, I won't forget that. The whole air was full of it, loud as thunder but far longer, cool and sweet as music over water but strong enough to shake the woods. And I said to myself, 'If that's not the Horn, call me a rabbit.

  • Far overhead from beyond the veil of blue sky which hid them the stars sang again; a pure, cold, difficult music. Then there came a swift flash like fire (but it burnt nobody) either from the sky or from the Lion itself, and every drop of blood tingled in the children's bodies, and the deepest, wildest voice they had ever heard was saying: "Narnia, Narnia, Narnia, awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.

    C. S. Lewis (2010). “A Year With Aslan: Words of Wisdom and Reflection from the Chronicles of Narnia”, p.39, HarperCollins UK
  • In order that we finite beings may apprehend the Emporer He translates His glory into multiple forms - into stars, woods, waters, beasts, and the bodies of men.

    Men  
  • Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.

    C.S.Lewis (2016). “The Chronicles of Narnia Vol V: The Horse and his Boy”, p.72, ENRICH CULTURE GROUP LIMITED
  • Awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.

    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.208, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Something of God... flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself.

    C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.102, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them; before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?

  • Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water...If I find in myself a desire, which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

  • Here the whole world (stars, water, air, And field, and forest, as they were Reflected in a single mind) Like cast off clothes was left behind In ashes, yet with hopes that she, Re-born from holy poverty, In lenten lands, hereafter may Resume them on her Easter Day." (Epitaph for Joy Gresham)

    Clive Staples Lewis, “Here The Whole World”
  • Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth. What you now call the free play of inquiry has neither more nor less to do with the ends for which intelligence was given you than masturbation has to do with marriage.

  • To get even near humility, even for a moment, is like a drink of cold water to a man in a desert.

    Men  
    C. S. Lewis (2012). “The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics”, p.112, HarperCollins UK
  • If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.

    C.S. Lewis (1960). “Mere Christianity”
