Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Ahora veo que he dejado pasar la mayor parte de mi vida sin hacer ni lo que debía ni lo que me apetecía”. Los cristianos describen al Enemigo como aquél “sin quien nada es fuerte”. Y la Nada es muy fuerte: lo suficiente como para privar a un hombre de sus mejores años, y no cometiendo dulces pecados, sino en una mortecina vacilación de la mente sobre no sabe qué ni por qué, en la satisfacción de curiosidades tan débiles que el hombre es sólo medio-consciente de ellas, en tamborilear con los dedos y pegar taconazos, en silbar melodías que no le gustan, o en el largo y oscuro laberinto de unos ensueños que ni siquiera tienen lujuria o ambición para darles sabor, pero que, una vez iniciados por una asociación de ideas puramente casual, no pueden evitarse, pues la criatura está demasiado débil y aturdida como para librarse de ellos. Dir”

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.
