C.S. Lewis (1996). “Joyful Christian”, p.186, Simon and Schuster

And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.

C. S. Lewis
Loneliness, Envy, Hatred
