“When we want to be something other than the thing God wants us to be, we must be wanting what, in fact, will not make us happy. Those Divine demands which sound to our natural ears most like those of a despot and least like those of a lover, in fact marshal us where we should want to go if we knew what we wanted.”
–C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain (New York: HarperCollins, 1940/1996), 46.
