God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.
C. S. LewisA great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process
C. S. LewisVanity is really the least bad and most pardonable sort. The vain person wants praise, applause, admiration too much and is always angling for it. It is a fault, but a childlike and even (in an odd way) a humble fault. It shows that you are not yet completely contented with your own admiration. You value other people enough to want them to look at you. You are in fact still human.
C. S. Lewis
