"It is not an abstraction called Humanity that is to be saved. It is you...your soul, and, in some sense yet to be understood, even your body, that was made for the high and holy place. All that you are...every fold and crease of your individuality was devised from all eternity to fit God as a glove fits a hand. All that intimate particularity which you can hardly grasp yourself, much less communicate to your fellow creatures, is no mystery to Him. He made those ins and outs that He might fill them. Then He gave your soul so curious a life because it is the key designed to unlock that door, of all the myriad doors in Him." ~C.S.Lewis, penciled in the flyleaf of his copy of von Hugel's Eternal Life
