Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

 ― C.S. Lewis

And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.
― C.S. Lewis
