The Quotable Lewis - on Human Nature
I have recently purchased the book, The Quotable Lewis, edited by Wayne Martindale and Jerry Root. I will periodically post random quotes. Today, on human nature.
One of the things that distinguishes man from the other animals is that he wants to know things, wants to find out what reality is like, simply for the sake of knowing. When that desire is completely quenched in anyone, I think he has become something less than human.
- C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock, “Man or Rabbit?” (1946)
