C. S. Lewis
Of course all children's literature is not fantastic, so all fantastic books need not be children's books. It is still possible, even in an age so ferociously anti-romantic as our own, to write fantastic stories for adults: though you will usually need to have made a name in some more fashionable kind of literature before anyone will publish them.
C. S. Lewis
To be in love involves the most irresistible conviction that one will go on being in love until one dies, and that possession of the beloved will confer, not merely frequent ecstasies, but settled, fruitful, deep-rooted, lifelong happiness.
C. S. Lewis
Shall I ever be able to read that story again the one I couldn't remember? Will you tell it to me, Aslan? Oh do,do,do. Indeed,yes, I will tell it to you for years and years. But now, come. We must meet the master of this house.
C. S. Lewis
Friends are seldom found they are made.
C. S. Lewis
