I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, hoever, turns out to be not a state but a process.
C. S. LewisWhat you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesnโt matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, so long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if itโs thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on.
C. S. LewisThere is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. [โฆ] There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves.[โฆ]The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility.
