“One practical way to do this is to look at other people and ask yourself if you are really seeing them or just your thoughts about them.”
― Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are

“When two Christians of different denominations start arguing, it is usually not long before one asks whether such-and-such a point ‘really matters’ and the other replies: ‘Matter? Why, it’s absolutely essential.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Other people wrote to me saying, ‘Isn’t what you call the Moral Law just a social convention, something”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. This is common sense, really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping. You can see mistakes in arithmetic when your mind is working properly: while you are making them you cannot see them. You can understand the nature of drunkenness when you are sober, not when you are drunk. Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
