Sentences of the week:
1. It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.
This is a demon named Screwtape, talking to his nephew Wormwood, about how humans think that the devil puts thoughts into their minds, but Screwtape says that the main goal of a demon is to keep you from thinking at all.
2. He (God) is cynically indifferent to the dignity of His position, and ours, as pure spirits, and to human animals on their knees He pours out self-knowledge in a quite shameless fashion.
I just find it humourous that Screwtape refers to himself as a "pure spirit".
3. My dear Wormwood, Obviously you are making excellent progress.
This sentence scares me, because he means that the demon is getting to the human, and slowly pulling him away from God, which is the goal of the devil.
