Made for Another World

This is a couple of C.S. Lewis quotes from The Weight of Glory and Mere Christianity melded together...

"A man’s physical hunger does not prove that that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man’s hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and that he inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called “falling in love” occurred in a sexless world. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
