Christabelle’s Reviews > The Abolition of Man & The Great Divorce > Status Update

“To the corrupted man, the one who stands outside the Tao, the various starting point of this science is invisible. He may be hostile but he cannot be critical. He does not know what is being discussed.”

“The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts.”

I forget how much I appreciate The Abolition of Man!

“There is but one good and it is God . Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him. And the higher and mightier it is in the natural order the more demonic it will be if it rebels. It’s not out of bad mice or bad fleas that you make demons, but out of bad archangels.”

I had forgotten how powerful The Great Divorce is or how astute Lewis was regarding human nature. I have lived a lot of life in nine years and approaching this with older eyes let’s me see truths I didn’t know existed. I’m looking forward to finishing it!
