Dorothy L. Sayers
“They are doing for their pupils the work which the pupils themselves ought to do. For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning

Roger Scruton
“We appreciate beautiful things not for their utility only, but also for what they are in themselves—or more plausibly, for how they appear in themselves.”
Roger Scruton, Beauty: A Very Short Introduction

Charles Dickens
“At this time of the rolling year,” the specter said, “I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me?”
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Thomas Reid
“I confess I know not what a sceptic can answer to this, nor by what good argument he can plead even for a hearing; for either his reasoning is sophistry, and so deserves contempt; or there is no truth in the human faculties, and then why should we reason?”
Thomas Reid, Thomas Reid's Inquiry and Essays

J.K. Rowling
“Dudley thought for a moment. It looked like hard work.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
