“Necessity may not be the opposite of freedom, and perhaps a man is most free when, instead of producing motives, he could only say, "I am what I do.”

~C.S. Lewis

Things Never Happen the Same Way Twice

Wouldn't you love to find Narnia in your wardrobe? But you can't....

You Are A Living House....

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Excerpts From Narnia

“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."
- The Magician's Nephew


“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.” 
- The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

"Dearest daughter, I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours."
- The Horse and His Boy

“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".” 

- Prince Caspian

“A powerful dragon crying its eyes out under the moon in a deserted valley is a sight and a sound hardly to be imagined.”

- The Voyage of The Dawn Treader

"Though under earth, and throneless now I be
Yet while I lived all earth was under me."
- The Silver Chair

“You've no idea how good an old joke sounds when you take it out again after a rest of five or six hundred years.”
- The Last Battle

My Narnian Quote

"You haven't tasted Heaven until you've read the pages, and moreover, FELT the glory, of the real Narnia. " - Lucia Silva

C.S. Lewis Inspirations

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”

"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.”

“Joy is the serious business of heaven.”

“Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different...”

“It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.”

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” 

 "All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
