From The Federalist

"The Modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The
virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other
and are wandering alone. Thus some scientists care for truth; but their
truth is pitiless. And thus some humanitarians care only for pity;
but their pity is often untruthful." --G.K. Chesterton

"We must not suppose that even if we succeeded in making everyone nice we
should have saved their souls. A world of nice people, content in their
own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just
as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world -- and might
even be more difficult to save. For mere improvement is no redemption,
though redemption always improves people even here and now and will,
in the end, improve them to a degree we cannot yet imagine." --C.S. Lewis

Much Like Orwell, Lewis was clearly a man ahead of his time.

I love C. S. Lewis I have his book "The Four Loves" in my stack of books to read.

Chesterton. Now that was a brain.
