"The vice I am talking about is pride or self-conceit; and the virtue opposite to it is called humility. Now we have come to the center, the essential vice, the up-most evil, is pride. Unchasity, anger, greed, drunkenness and all that are mere fleabites in comparison; it was through pride that the devil became the devil. Pride leads to every other vice; it is the complete anti-God state of mind."
(C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity pg. 121-122)
