Quote by C.S. Lewis

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

Summary

This quote suggests that seeking truth may ultimately lead to finding comfort, whereas prioritizing comfort over truth will result in neither. Looking for truth means seeking knowledge and understanding, even if it requires facing difficult realities. By embracing truth, one can reach a state of genuine comfort based on acceptance and growth. On the other hand, seeking comfort alone disregards reality and leads to false reassurances that only bring temporary relief, ultimately resulting in despair when confronted with the truth.

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . . Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.
