“This is a book about something...”

CS Lewis

4

This is a collection of quotes from stories filled with wonder and adventure. They are stories that spark our imaginations to dream of a far off world, which possesses a deeper magic from before the dawn of time. It is a world where the forces of good and evil battle against one another, causing heroes to rise and villians to fall, and annointing kings and queens to reign over the land. CS Lewis gave us the wonderful world of Narnia. In this book, quotes were selected from the seven novels of the Chronicles of Narnia. And within these quotes, a new narrative is told. Like CS Lewis, it tells a coming-of-age story of one’s life journey and shows its transformation through words.

And now our journey begins...

ordinary

One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.

‘I have come,’ said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at once to look pale and shadowy compared with him.

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

‘You have a traitor there, Aslan,’ said the Witch. Of course, everyone present knew that she meant Edmund. But Edmund had got past thinking about himself after all he’d been through and after the talk he’d had that morning. He just went on looking at Aslan. It didn’t seem to matter what the Witch said.

There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.

grown-ups That one small noise brought back the old days to the children’s minds more than anything that had happened yet. All the battles and hunts and feasts came rushing into their heads together.

Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind.

noble

Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.

‘The help will come,’ said Trufflehunter. ‘I stand

by Aslan. Have patience, like us beasts. The help will come. It may be even now at the door.’

new If you are thirsty, come and drink.

The difference between the old Narnia and the new Narnia was like that. The new one was a deeper country: every rock and flower and blade of grass looked as if it meant more.

different In Narnia a girl might ring a bell in a deserted temple and feel the chime in her eyes, pure as the freeze that forces tears. Then when the sound dies out, the White Witch wakes. It was like, I want to touch you, and I can touch you, now what next, a dagger?

Most of us, I suppose, have a secret country but for most of us it is only an imaginary country. Edmund and Lucy were luckier than other people in that respect.

remeber

The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them; before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluishgreen waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you ever heard it? Can you remember?

For those who come so far. Some call this island the World’s End, for though you can sail further, this is the beginning of the end.

Child,’ said the Lion, ‘I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.

But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, ‘Courage, dear heart,’ and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan’s, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.

Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet. Let us be good to one another.

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.

They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.

GRIEF comes and goes.

And they themselves grew and changed as the years passed over them. And Peter became a tall and deep-chested man and a great warrior, and he was called King Peter the Magnificent. And Susan grew into a tall and gracious woman with black hair that fell almost to her feet and the kings of the countries beyond the sea began to send ambassadors asking for her hand in marriage. And she was called Queen Susan the Gentle. Edmund was a graver and quieter man than Peter, and great in council and judgement. He was called King Edmund the Just. But as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden-haired, and all the princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant.

gentle

To the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the Valiant. To the great western woods, King Edmund the Just.

To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And to the clear northern skies, I give you King Peter the Magnificent. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens.

Over the years, I have changed. My quiet

But I desire to be

valiant and

magnificent like a great king or queen, to be RADIANT like the golden sun.
