“I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish; but
their rescue consists in being put back on the right road. A sum can be put
right: but only by going back til you find the error and working it afresh from
that point, never by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it cannot
‘develop’ into good. Time does not heal it. The spell must be unwound, bit by
bit, ‘with backward mutters of dissevering power’ –or else not.”
C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce, 1945.
