“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward … promised in the
Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong,
but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink
and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant
child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot
imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too
easily pleased.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
