About This Quote
C.S. Lewis is generally considered to be one of the most significant religious thinkers of the 20th century. His work is not only concerned with the problems of religion, but also with the nature of human existence. In "The Four Loves", Lewis argues that human existence can be divided into four distinct categories, which he respectively calls the "bonds of affection", the "bonds of desire", the "bonds of thought", and "the bonds of action." This is a unique approach since, in Western culture, one normally thinks that love is either for God or for one’s spouse.
