“We see unmistakable the sort of universe in which we have all along been living,
and must come to terms with it. If we had foolish un-Christian hopes about human
culture, they are now shattered. If we thought we were building up a heaven on earth,
if we looked for something that would turn the present world from a place of pilgrimage
into a permanent city satisfying the soul of man, we are disillusioned, and not 
a moment too soon.”

–C. S. Lewis, “Learning in Wartime,” in _The Weight of Glory: And Other Addresses_(
New York: HarperCollins, 1949/2001), 62-3.
