C.S. Lewis Quotes

Daily wisdom from the writings of C.S. Lewis

‘Creation’ as applied to human authorship seems to me to be an entirely misleading term. We re-arrange elements [God] has provided. Try to imagine a new primary colour, a third sex… or even a monster which does not consist of bits of existing animals stuck together. Nothing happens. And that is surely why our works never mean to others quite what we intended: because we are re-combining elements made by Him and already containing His meanings.
