“No herd of other beasts, gathered together, has so ugly a voice as Man.”

Ain’t that the truth most the time.

“Don’t you think the things people are most ashamed of are the things they can’t help? - Psyche to Orual, Chapter 10

"The Fox had taught me to think of the priest as of a mere schemer and a politic man who put into the mouth of Ungit whatever might most increase his own power and lands or most harm his enemies. I saw that it was not so. He was sure of Ungit." (Chapter 5)

I have read atheists' comments like this about priests, saying "How can they live in such hypocrite way, deceiving people on purpose?" Since they are so sure that there is no God, they cannot fathom a priest who believes what he says.

"Weakness, and work, are two comforts the gods have not taken from us."
"To love, and to lose what we love, are equally things appointed for our nature. If we cannot bear the second well, that evil is ours." Orual handles this by refusing to love again after being hurt. Her loss.
"The Divine Nature can change the past. Nothing is yet in its true form."
"I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away."
This seems to be Lewis' great "moral".
