Quote by C.S. Lewis
“La mentira consiste en pretender que todo acto sexual al que te sientes tentado es ipso facto saludable y normal. Pues bien; esto, desde cualquier punto de vista, y sin ninguna relación con el cristianismo, tiene que ser una insensatez. Ceder a todos nuestros deseos evidentemente conduce a la impotencia, la enfermedad, los celos, la mentira, la ocultación y todo aquello que es lo opuesto a la felicidad, la franqueza y el buen humor. Para cualquier tipo de felicidad, incluso en este mundo, se necesitará una gran dosis de control, de modo que lo que pretende cualquier clase de deseo fuerte, ser sano y razonable, no cuenta para nada. Todo hombre cuerdo y civilizado debe tener un conjunto de principios según los cuales elija rechazar algunos de sus deseos y permitir otros. Un hombre hace esto basándose en los principios cristianos; otro, en principios de higiene; otro, en principios sociológicos.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
