C. S. Lewis
Education, Clever, Live Life

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.

Education, Teacher, Teaching
C. S. Lewis (2003). “A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis”, p.240, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.

C. S. Lewis
Education, Intelligent, Would Be

Why you fool, it's the educated reader who can be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles....He's our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything.

C. S. Lewis
Education, Believe, People

Man has got to take charge of Man.... Then real education, including pre-natal education. By real education I mean one that has no 'take-it-or-leave-it' nonsense. A real education makes the patient what it wants infallibly: whatever he or his parents try to do about it. Of course, it'll have to be mainly psychological at first. But we'll get on to biochemical conditioning int he end and direct manipulation of the brain.

C. S. Lewis
Education, Real, Mean
