"The human mind is generally far more..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy has of reality of whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them.”

“Perhaps civilization will never be safe until we care for something else more than we care for it. The hypothesis has certain facts to support it. As far as peace (which is one ingredient in our idea of civilization)is concerned, I think many would now agree that a foreign policy dominated by desire for peace is one of the many roads that lead to war.”

“Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased.”

“Being must be felt. It can't be thought.”

“A purely disembodied human emotion is a nonentity.”

“I can readily conceive of a man without hands or feet; and I could conceive of him without a head, if experience had not taught me that by this he thinks, Thought then, is the essence of man, and without this we cannot conceive of him.”

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.”

“Men are as innocent as the morning to the unsuspicious.”

“We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves.”
