I actually lifted that line from... I'm pretty certain it was *In Praise of Folly* by Desiderius Erasmus. Odd though, I can't find it on search engines
I don’t remember the specific context of that line, off the top of my head.
But what I remember of Praise of Folly, picture the literary version of a stand-up comedian in drag, in character as “Folly,” first of kind of introducing herself and people like herself, just honest and straightforward undeniable folly… then later on it gets into the more controversial satire, mocking the corrupted elements of the church hierarchy and respectable society that pretend to be virtuous while abusing their power.
So I’m guessing the quote might have something to do with that. Being the open and “what you see is what you get” kind of character, rather than hiding behind fake righteousness?
Forgot to mention, I noticed you C.S. Lewis pun at the beginning! Nicely done!
"I am myself, wherever I am, and no one can say I'm not." Nice rhythm in this line! I could see it going on merch.
The recap at the beginning of each chapter is a great idea!

It sucks when you're trying to find something that was translated, because your particular translation might not be online!
Do you remember why Erasmus said this? I'm intrigued
