Faith in human nature?

"It is the high-minded unbeliever, desperately trying in the teeth of repeated disillusions to retain his 'faith in human nature' who is really sad. … We actually are, at present, creatures whose character must be, in some respects, a horror to God, as it is, when we really see it, a horror to ourselves. This I believe to be a fact: and I notice that the holier a man is, the more fully he is aware of that fact."

-- C.S. Lewis, "The Problem of Pain"
