Summary

This quote suggests that humility is crucial in a person's character, much like underwear is essential for one's modesty. Just as underwear should not be visible to others as it is considered indecent, humility should not be boastfully displayed. It implies that true humility lies in one's actions and demeanor, rather than openly proclaiming one's humility. The quote serves as a reminder that it is important to practice humility genuinely without seeking attention or recognition for it.

Do you think I care if Aslan doomes me to death? said the King. That would be nothing, nothing at all. Would it not be better to be dead than to have this horrible fear that Aslan has come and is not like the Aslan we have believed in and longed for? It is as if the sun rose one day and were a black sun.

I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans

I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.
