"I do not think that all who choose wrong paths perish; but their rescue consists of being put back on the right road. A sum can be put right: but only by only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into something good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by bit, 'with backward mutters of dissevering power'- or else not. It is still 'either-or.' If we insist on keeping Hell (or even Earth) we shall not see Heaven: If we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate of souvenirs of Hell."
- C.S. Lewis
