[Quote No.34262] Need Area: Work > Leadership
"And the prophecy I make is this. To nine out of ten of you [politicians, bureaucrats, union and business leaders] the choice which could lead to scoundrelism will come, when it does come, in no very dramatic colors. Obviously bad men, obviously threatening or bribing, will almost certainly not appear. Over a drink or a cup of coffee, disguised as a triviality and sandwiched between two jokes, from the lips of a man, or woman, whom you have recently been getting to know rather better and whom you hope to know better still -- just at the moment when you are most anxious not to appear crude, or naive, or a prig -- the hint will come. It will be the hint of something which is not quite in accordance with the technical rules of fair play: something which the public, the ignorant, romantic public, would never understand: something which even the outsiders in your own profession are apt to make a fuss about: but something, says your new friend, which 'we' -- and at the word 'we' you try not to blush for mere pleasure -- something 'we always do.' And you will be drawn in, if you are drawn in, not by desire for gain or ease, but simply because at that moment, when the cup was so near your lips, you cannot bear to be thrust back again into the cold outer world. It would be so terrible to see the other man's face -- that genial, confidential, delightfully sophisticated face -- turn suddenly cold and contemptuous, to know that you had been tried for the Inner Ring and rejected. And then, if you are drawn in, next week it will be something a little further from the rules, and next year something further still, but all in the jolliest, friendliest spirit. It may end in a crash, a scandal, and penal servitude: it may end in millions, a peerage and giving the prizes at your old school. But you will be a scoundrel." - C.S. Lewis

[Quote No.30997] Need Area: Friends > General
"[When a government decides that it alone knows best and takes the role of a nanny state, it shows its citizens how much it disrespects their intelligence and their finances which fund government's activities.] Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims [without their informed consent and approval] may be the most oppressive... This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be 'cured' against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. [Governments that behave this way, even with the best of intentions, deny their citizens their inalienable human right to freedom of choice and the responsibilty to enjoy or suffer the consequences - learning and maturing in the process, and as such treat them with less than adult human dignity.]" - C.S. Lewis

[Quote No.58155] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Socialists, overly interventionist politicians and other paternal statists who, out of a misguided sense of compassion, wish to remove the struggle from life should note the following...] Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself." - C.S.

[Quote No.71841] Need Area: Fun > Books
"[Why read, etc?] ...we seek an enlargement of our being. We want to be more than ourselves. Each of us by nature sees the whole world from one point of view with a perspective and a selectiveness peculiar to himself. And even when we build disinterested fantasies, they are saturated with, and limited by, our own psychology. ... We want to see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own." - C.S. Lewis
Quote from his book, ‘An Experiment in Criticism’.
