"To the frivolous Christianity is certainly not glad tidings, for it wishes first of all to make them serious."

Previous Quote

Dance and game are frivolous, unimportant down here; for "down here" is not their natural place. Here, they are a moment's rest from the life we were placed here to live. But in this world everything is upside down. That which, if it could be prolonged here, would be a truancy, is likest that which in a better country is the End of ends. Joy is the serious business of Heaven.

— C. S. Lewis
