Lewis "Morality, like numinous awe, is a jump; in it, man goes beyond anything that can be 'given' in the facts of experience." "Reasoning is never, like poetry, judged from the outside at all." "Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief." "There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Thy will be done.'" "Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased." Top 5 quotes from Pride "The essence of a self-reliant and autonomous culture is an unshakeable egoism." "Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man." "But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own." "Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals." "A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you."
