And that's why, gentleman, if your little girl doesn't come up to scratch, it will be our painful duty to cut all your throats. Merely in a way of business, as you might say, and no offense, I hope.
("The Voyage of the Dawn Treader")
More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
But now I discovered the wonderful power of wine. I understood why men become drunkards. For the way it worked on me was not at all that it blotted out these sorrows, but that it made them seem glorious and noble, like sad music, and I somehow great and revered for feeling them.C.S. Lewis
Though no one would want to be sold as a slave, it is perhaps even more galling to be a sort of utility slave whom no one will buy.
C.S. Lewis
I don't want him to live forever, and I know that he's not going to live forever whether I want him to or not.
C.S. Lewis
To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.
C.S. Lewis
We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.
C.S. Lewis
The perfect church service, would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God.
C.S. Lewis
