This is an old favorite of mine: "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." - C. S. Lewis

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." - C. S. Lewis With all due respect to Lewis, he is wrong on this point, influenced by Platonism. That view is called 'angelism', and it treats the human person as equivalent to angels. In fact, we are essentially soul-body composites. My body is not something I have, like my car. My body is part of me. To touch my body is to touch me (not all of me, of course, but nevertheless me).
