Clive Staples Lewis was a British writer and lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University and Cambridge University.
We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. – C.S. Lewis
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons. – C.S. Lewis
The claim to equality, outside of the strictly political field, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior. – C.S. Lewis
Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. This shows we are made to live by charity. – C.S. Lewis
