Quote by C.S. Lewis
“El orgullo no viene a través de nuestra naturaleza animal en absoluto. Este viene directamente del infierno. Es puramente espiritual, y en consecuencia, es mucho más mortífero y sutil. Por la misma razón, el orgullo puede ser a menudo utilizado para combatir los vicios menores. Los maestros, de hecho, a menudo acuden al orgullo de los alumnos, o, como ellos lo llaman, a la estimación que sienten por sí mismos, para impulsarles a comportarse correctamente: más de un hombre ha superado la cobardía, la lujuria o el mal carácter aprendiendo a pensar que estas cosas no son dignas de él… es decir, por orgullo. El demonio se ríe. Le importa muy poco ver cómo os hacéis castos y valientes y dueños de vuestros impulsos siempre que, en todo momento, él esté infligiendo en vosotros la dictadura del orgullo… del mismo modo que no le importaría que se os curasen los sabañones si se le permitiera a cambio infligiros un cáncer. Porque el orgullo es un cáncer espiritual, devora la posibilidad misma del amor, de la satisfacción, o incluso del sentido común.”

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.
