No, I remember seeing it in the Quote of the Day, and I have it written in my quote book as a Lewis quote. But I don't remember where I got it from.

The quote really ought to have italics or bold or something to put stress on the correct words. Like this:
You don't have a Soul.
You are a Soul.
You have a Body.

So that it's understood that we are a soul which just happens to be attached to a body. Our body is not our primary part, not our main being, our core. It's only the shell in which we move about. Such a good quote.

Let me look around and see if I can find where I got it.
... Nope. I can't find it anywhere. :sad:

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.
