More From C. S. Lewis

Anyone who is honestly trying to be a christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a christian is that christianity is an education itself. that is why an uneducated believer like bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world.
Christian Book Writing
That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. if you are thinking of becoming a christian, i warn you you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.
Christian Thinking Intellectual
A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

Intelligences are enhanced when a person is engaged in activities that involve the exercise of that intelligence. it helps to have good teachers, ample resources, and personal motivation. anyone can improve any intelligence; but it is easier to improve the intelligence if those factors are available and if you have high potential in that intelligence.

Do you know that moment when you paint a landscape as a child and, when you're maybe under seven or something, the sky is just a blue stripe across the top of the paper? and then there's that somewhat disappointing moment when the teacher tells you that the sky actually comes down in amongst all the branches. and it's like life changes at that moment and becomes much more complicated and a little bit more boring, as it's rather tedious to fill in the branches.

Teachers have power. we may cripple them by petty economics; by government regulations, by the foolish criticism of an uninformed press; but their power exists for good or evil.

When i recall my teachers at school, i realise that half of them were abnormal. . . . we pupils of old austria were brought up to respect old people and women. but on our professors we had no mercy; they were our natural enemies. the majority of them were somewhat mentally deranged, and quite a few ended their days as honest-to-god lunatics! . . . i was in particular bad odor with the teachers. i showed not the slightest aptitude for foreign languages - though i might have, had not the teacher been a congenital idiot. i could not bear the sight of him.
