Brandon and I started reading The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. We just finished THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW. There are so many fun quotes in these books that I decided to add my favorites to the blog so I can remember them. The following quotes are all from THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW.
"... I cannot tell that to this old sinner, and I cannot comfort him either; he has made himself unable to hear my voice. If I spoke to him, he would hear only growlings and roarings. Oh Adam's sons, how cleverly you defend yourselves against all that might do you good!"
"Come in by the gold gates or not at all,
Take of my fruit for others or forbear.
For those who steal or those who climb my wall
Shall find their heart's desire and find despair."
"Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire; she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want: they do not always like it."
"For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are."
"Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed."
