“A children’s story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children’s story in the slightest.” – C. S. Lewis
CS Lewis: Chronicles of Narnia
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe: A Magical Land and a Lion King (Chronicles of Narnia #1)
“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
“He’ll be coming and going” he had said. “One day you’ll see him and another you won’t. He doesn’t like being tied down–and of course he has other countries to attend to. It’s quite all right. He’ll often drop in. Only you mustn’t press him. He’s wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.”
Prince Caspian: There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for (Chronicles of Narnia #2)
“You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,” said Aslan. “And that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.”
“Aslan” said Lucy “you’re bigger”.
“That is because you are older, little one” answered he.
“Not because you are?”
“I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”
Voyage of the Dawn Treader: The Son Begins to Reign, Demands Obedience (Chronicles of Narnia #3)
“But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder.”
“Are – are you there too, Sir?” “I am,” said Aslan. “But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
The Silver Chair: Accept No Substitutes (Chronicles of Narnia #4)
“Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it. I’m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn’t any Narnia.”
The Horse and His Boy: Journeys to Freedom & to Aslan (Chronicles of Narnia #5)
“Who are you?” asked Shasta.
“Myself,” said the Voice, very deep and low so that the earth shook: and again “Myself,” loud and clear and gay: and then the third time “Myself,” whispered so softly you could hardly hear it, and yet it seemed to come from all around you as if the leaves rustled with it.
The Magician’s Nephew: Genesis in Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia #6)
“In the darkness something was happening at last. A voice had begun to sing. It was very far away and Digory found it hard to decide from what direction it was coming. Sometimes it seemed to come from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming out of the earth beneath them. Its lower notes were deep enough to be the voice of the earth herself. There were no words. It was hardly a tune. But it was beyond comparison, the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It was so beautiful he could hardly bear it…”
The Last Battle : Suffering and the True Narnia (Chronicles of Narnia #7)
“Well done, last of the Kings of Narnia, who stood firm at the darkest hour.”
“The dream is ended- this is the morning.”
“If The Magician’s Nephew is Narnia’s Book of Genesis, The Last Battle is its Book of Revelations,” Markos begins, “complete with the End-Times, Tribulation, Last Judgment and Final Destruction of Narnia.”
