Relevant Magazine did us a great favor and provided 15 great quotes from the man who influenced C.S. Lewis:
The Nature of God
“The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.” – Introduction to The Book of Job.
Creativity
“Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.” – Orthodoxy
Mystery
As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. – Orthodoxy
Individuality
“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.” – The Everlasting Man
Humility
“It has been often said, very truly, that religion is the thing that makes the ordinary man feel extraordinary; it is an equally important truth that religion is the thing that makes the extraordinary man feel ordinary.” – Charles Dickens: A Critical Study
