C. S. Lewis
That's the worst of girls, said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. They never can carry a map in their heads. That's because our heads have something inside them, said Lucy.
C. S. Lewis
The game is to have them all running about with fire extinguishers when there is a flood, and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under.
C. S. Lewis
I think God wants us to love Him more, not to love others less.
C. S. Lewis

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

C. S. Lewis
