Why C.S. Lewis Is The Best

"If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God, it will make in the end no
difference what you have chosen instead." (Thomas More) Those are hard words to
take. Will it really make no difference whether it was women or patriotism,
cocaine or art, whisky or a seat in the Cabinet, money or science? Well, surely
no difference that matters. We shall have missed the end for which we are
formed, and rejected the only thing that satisfies. Does it matter to a
man dying in a desert by which choice of route he missed the only well?

--C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
