The Law of Nature
An interesting quote from C.S. Lewis at the end of the first chapter of "Mere Christianity":
These, then, are the two points I wanted to make. First, that human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it. Secondly, that they do not in fact behave in that way. They know the Law of Nature; they break it. These two facts are the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universe we live in.
That small quote doesn't do the whole chapter justice...
