129 Inspiring C.S. Lewis Quotes That Will Give You Some Food For Thought

ADVERTISEMENT

One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again.

There's an abundance of book quotes online; however, this passage might sound pretty familiar to you. And if it does, your brain is not playing mind games on you. This famous quote from one of the Narnia books may hit close to home because it takes you back to when you discovered the series and the magical realm of Narnia. Back in a time when fairytales didn't feel so unrealistic or childish, and the idea that you might "discover" a new universe in the back of your closet didn't seem so ridiculous. Oh, what a lovely experience it must've been to read The Chronicles of Narnia books for the first time.

Whether a fan of the novel series or the media franchise, you must know who brought this fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts, and talking animals to light. Clive Staples Lewis, the British writer and theologian must be no stranger to you then. Throughout his life, C.S. Lewis wrote more than 30 books. Although not explicitly a children's book author, he's best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, now considered a classic of children's literature and some of the best children's books.

However, the numerous books are not all the writer has left behind. C.S. Lewis left hundreds of inspiring quotes and quotes from books that keep the memory of this incredible author alive to this day. And whether you're familiar with the author and his stories or not, many of these famous quotes by C.S. Lewis will strike you as wise and moving.

Below, we have compiled a selection of the best C.S. Lewis quotes about friendship, love, faith, suffering, literature, and Christianity. But don't get discouraged if you are not a Christian or religious; either way, you will find an inspiring quote that will fit your beliefs and values. Is there a quote from the Narnia books that you particularly like? Let us know!
