C. S. Lewis Quotes

Catch him at the moment when he is really poor in spirit and smuggle into his mind the gratifying reflection, "By jove, I'm being humble," and almost immediately pride-pride at his own humility-will appear. If he awakes to the danger and tries to smother this new form of pride, make him proud of his attempt-and so on, for as many stages as you please.

C. S. Lewis
