“In those days a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise; the greatest service we can to education today is to teach few subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.”
― C.S. Lewis

“It is far more seemly
to have thy Studie full of Bookes,
than thy Purse full of money.

”
― John Lyly, Euphues, the Anatomy of Wit

“I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.”
― Honoré de Balzac
