God is represented as infinite, eternal, incomprehensible; he is contained under every predicate in non that the logic of ignorance could fabricate.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
About This Quote

This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. The language is remarkable and very beautiful. The author, C. S.

Lewis, shows that God is not contained under any logic or idea that man can create. Man has created his own logic and ideas to try to understand the infinite God, but he still cannot comprehend him.
