All C. S. LEWIS Quotes about “Birds”

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”
“The incalculable winds of fantasy and music and poetry, the mere face of a girl, the song of a bird, or the sight of a horizon, are always blowing evilâ€™s whole structure away.”
“If they embark on this course the difference between the old and the new education will be an important one. Where the old initiated, the new merely 'conditions'. The old dealt with its pupils as grown birds deal with young birds when they teach them to fly; the new deals with them more as the poultry-keeper deals with young birds- making them thus or thus for purposes of which the birds know nothing. In a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men; the new is merely propaganda.”
“A great many people (not you) do now seem to think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I donâ€™t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while weâ€™re doing it, I think weâ€™re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, our jokes, and the birdsâ€™ song and the frosty sunrise.”
