“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 do to education to-day is to teach fewer 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, Suprised by Joy

“You’ll stay with me?'

'Until the very end,' said James.

'They won’t be able to see you?' asked Harry.

'We are part of you,' said Sirius. 'Invisible to anyone else.'

Harry looked at his mother.

'Stay close to me,' he said quietly.

And he set off.”

“When she was hardly more than a girl, Miss Minnie had gone away to a teacher’s college and prepared herself to teach by learning many cunning methods that she never afterwards used. For Miss Minnie loved children, and she loved books, and she taught merely by introducing the one to the other.”

“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. If everyone else became equally rich, or clever, or good-looking there would be nothing to be proud about. It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity; The Screwtape Letters, Miracles; The Great Divorce; The Problem of Pain; A Grief Observed; The Abolition of Man; The Four Loves; Reflect...
