Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, the death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and the death of your whole body in the end: Submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given way will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hartred, lonelieness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in. — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
