C.S Lewis says,
When I have learnt to
love God better than my dearest, I shall love my
earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far
as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense
of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards
the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest
at all. When first things are put first,
second things are not suppressed but increased!"
(Letters of Lewis, p. 248)
