The human soul was made to enjoy some object that is never fully given in this life

If a man diligently followed his desire, pursuing the false objects until their falsity appeared and then resolutely abandoning them, he must come out at last into the clear knowledge that the human soul was made to enjoy some object that is never fully given — nay, cannot even be imagined as given — in our present mode of subjective and spatio-temporal existence. . . .

- CS Lewis, Surprised by Joy
