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 Science "Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. It is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good." "Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." "Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it." "All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it." "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"
