Quotes from THE GREAT SIN and C.S. Lewis

"There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others." {Pride}


"Pride leads to every other vice; it is the complete anti-God state of mind."


"...power is what pride really enjoys; there is nothing that makes a man feel so superior to others as being able to move them about like toy soldiers... Pride is completitie by its very nature; that is why it goes on and on. "


"Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man."


"The real test of being in the presence of God is that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object."
