Top Three Quotes

I just finished Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. 

Here are my top three favorite quotes:

 

1) "We (the demons) want cattle who can finally become food; He (GOD) wants servants who can finally become sons or daughters. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below (Satan) has drawn all other beings into himself: the Enemy (GOD) wants a world full of beings united to Himself but still distinct" - pg. 39 of my edition

 

2) "Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's (GOD's) will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why has he been forsaken, and still obeys " - pg. 40 of my edition - Emphasis mine 

 

3) "Pilate was merciful till it became risky" - pg. 162 of my edition

 

This is one of my favorite books, and I hope these quotes make an impact of some sort. 

Give me some feedback, what do you think of the book, and these quotes.
