“Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours—and the more ‘religious’ (on those terms) the more securely ours. I could show you a pretty cageful down here,”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“We laugh at honor, and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“Surely you know that if a man can't be cured of churchgoing, the next best thing is to send him all over the neighbourhood looking for the church that "suits" him until he becomes a taster or connoisseur of churches.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

“The fine flower of unholiness can grow only in the close neighborhood of the Holy.”
