"It might be going too far to say that the modern scientific movement was tainted from its birth:but I think it would be true to say that it was born in an unhealthy neighborhood and at an inauspicious hour" (78).
"The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it" (81).
What Lewis is getting at it that people can no go on seeing the truth forever, because then there would be no truth. While science is good, it is no the be all end all. There are things that even science can not prove, and that they should not try to prove, or else there will be nothing left and thus there will be nothing left in the world but a long series of understanding. One can not be fulfilled when they know the whole truth of each and every thing. Then everything is logically seen through like a piece of glass, and you can see nothing else but transparency.
