C.S. Lewis > Quotes > Quotable Quote

"No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very difficult to exist good. A silly idea is electric current that good people practise not know what temptation ways. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you lot observe out the strength of the German ground forces by fighting against information technology, non past giving in. Yous detect out the strength of a wind by trying to walk confronting information technology, non by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does non know what it would take been like an hour afterward. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness — they have lived a sheltered life past always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside the states until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is besides the but man who knows to the full what temptation ways — the only consummate realist."

― C.S. Lewis
