Benedict610

"The Hideous Strength holds all this Earth in its fist to squeeze as it wishes. But for their one mistake, there would be no hope left. If of their own evil will they had not broken the frontier and let in the celestial Powers, this would be their moment of victory. Their own strength has betrayed them. They have gone to the gods who would not have come to them, and they have pulled down Deep Heaven on their heads. Therefore, they will die."

-Ransom, C. S. Lewis. That Hideous Strength, Chapter 13
