“It was even better than yesterday, partly because everyone was feeling so fresh, and partly because the newly risen sun was at their backs and, of course, everything looks nicer when the light is behind you. It was a wonderful ride.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“You felt you would have to mind your P's and Q's, if you ever met living people who looked like that.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew

“But 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! But I will give him the only gift he is still able to receive”
― C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #1)

“It is not certain that some wicked one of your race will not find out a secret as evil as the Deplorable Word and use it to destroy all living things. And soon, very soon, before you are an old man and an old woman, great nations in your world will be ruled by tyrants who care no more for joy and justice and mercy than the Empress Jadis. Let your world beware. That is the warning. Now”
― C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #1)
