Screwtape letters sayings

Here are some notable quotes from "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis:

1. "Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."

2. "Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."

3. "The safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."

4. "Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."

5. "A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing."

6. "Prosperity knits a man to the World. He feels that he is 'finding his place in it,' while really it is finding its place in him."

7. "The horror of the Same Old Thing is one of the most valuable passions we have produced in the human heart—an endless source of heresies in religion, folly in counsel, infidelity in marriage, and inconstancy in friendship."

8. "The safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."

9. "I do not think you will have much difficulty in keeping the patient in the dark. The fact that 'devils' are predominantly comic figures in the modern imagination will help you."

10. "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."
