* Come on, then, said Lucy, let’s find the others. What a lot of adventures we shall have now that we’re all together.

* Edmund was already feeling uncomfortable from having eaten too many sweets, and when he heard that the Lady he had made friends with was a dangerous witch he felt even more uncomfortable. But he still wanted to taste that Turkish Delight more than he wanted anything else.

* And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different.... At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside.

* Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, We shall have spring again.

* If there is anyone who can appear before Aslan without heir knees knocking, they’re either braver than most or else just silly.

* Then he isn’t safe? Said Lucy. Safe? Said Mr. Beaver. ...who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.

* I hope that no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night; but if you have been - if you’ve been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you - you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness.

* She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards.

* Once a king or queen in Narnia, always a king or queen. Bear it well, sons of Adam. Bear it well, daughters of Eve. -pg.

* So they lived in great joy and if ever they remembered their life in this would it was only as one remembers a dream.

* For it will not go out of my mind that if we pass this post and lantern either we shall find strange adventures or else some great change of our fortunes.

* Yes, of course you’ll get back to Narnia again some day. Once a king in Narnia, always a king in Narnia. But don’t go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don’t try to get there at all. It’ll happen when you’re not looking for it.
