"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 as a whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered them" CS Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, p227

Two quotes for today since the first one is rather short: "Why are nuns nicer than monks and school-girls nicer than schoolboys, when women are not in general nicer than men?" ~CS Lewis, Letters to an American Lady
The second one: "Remember what St. John says "If our heart condemns us, God is stronger than our heart'. The feeling of being, or not being, forgiven and loved, is not what matters. One must come down to brass tacks. If there is a particular sin on your conscience, repent and confess it. If there isn't, tell the despondent devil not to be silly." ~CS Lewis, Letters to an American Lady
