Aptitude is a certain faculty naturally rooted in the mind and empowered from within. It arises from nature, is improved by use, is blunted by excessive work, and is sharpened by temperate practice. As someone has very nicely said: “Please! Spare yourself for my sake—there’s only drudgery in those papers! Go run in the open air!”
― Hugh of St. Victor in the Didiscalion
