Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Para ser malo, debe existir y poseer inteligencia y voluntad. Pero la existencia, la inteligencia y la voluntad son en sí mismas buenas. Por lo tanto debe estar obteniéndolas de un Poder Bueno: incluso para ser malo debe pedir prestado o robar a su oponente. ¿Empezáis a comprender por qué el cristianismo ha dicho siempre que el demonio es un ángel caído? Eso no es un mero cuento infantil. Es un reconocimiento real de que el mal es un parásito, no la cosa original. Los poderes que le permiten al mal seguir adelante son poderes que le ha otorgado la bondad. Todas las cosas que le permiten a un mal hombre ser eficazmente malo son buenas en sí mismas: la resolución, la inteligencia, la belleza, la existencia misma. Por eso, el dualismo, en un sentido estricto, no funcionará.”

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.
