Summary

This quote, taken from C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia," highlights the humility required for true leadership.

Aslan's response illustrates that recognizing one's limitations is a sign of wisdom and maturity.

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream.

As he had so many times before, Taleswapper addressed a few silent words to God, which always came down to this question: Why do you put us to so much trouble, when it all comes to naught in the end?...And, as usual, God had nothing much to say to Taleswapper when his questioning was done.

The ugly and stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat.
