"Men without chests."

"On the "new" Freudian psychology of materialism sweeping through the intellectual world. It was a tendency to debunk, or dismantle, myth and belief, and reduce everything to just it's material components, atoms colliding, and subjectivism."

"We continue to clamor for those very qualities we render impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that our civilization needs more drive, or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or creativity. In a sort of ghastly simplicity, we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

- C.S Lewis
