    But things never happen the same way twice.
  • Vanja Gorčevhas quoted3 years ago
    “Wouldn't it be dreadful if some day, in our own world, at home, men started going wild inside, like the animals here, and still looked like men, so that you'd never know which were which?”
  • Vanja Gorčevhas quoted3 years ago
    All night he rode southward, choosing by-ways and bridle paths through woods as long as he was in country that he knew; but afterwards he kept to the high road. Destrier was as excited as his master at this unusual journey, and Caspian, though tears had come into his eyes at saying good-bye to Doctor Cornelius, felt brave and, in a way, happy, to think that he was King Caspian riding to seek adventures, with his sword on his left hip and Queen Susan's magic horn on his right. But when day came, with a sprinkle of rain, and he looked about him and saw on every side unknown woods, wild heaths, and blue mountains, he thought how large and strange the world was and felt frightened and small.

    AFTER this, Caspian and his Tutor had many more secret conversations on the top of the Great Tower, and at each conversation Caspian learned more about Old Narnia, so that thinking and dreaming about the old days, and longing that they might come back, filled nearly all his spare hours.

    “I say,” said Edmund as they walked away, “I suppose it is all right. I mean, I suppose you can beat him?”
    “That's what I'm fighting him to find out,” said Peter.

    “But I've been far worse than you know. I really believed it was him—he, I mean—yesterday. When he warned us not to go down to the fir wood. And I really believed it was him tonight, when you woke us up. I mean, deep down inside. Or I could have, if I'd let myself. But I just wanted to get out of the woods and—and—oh, I don't know. And what ever am I to say to him?”

    She was not enjoying her match half so much as Edmund had enjoyed his; not because she had any doubt about hitting the apple but because Susan was so tenderhearted that she almost hated to beat someone who had been beaten already.

    You are my King. I know the difference between giving advice and taking orders. You've had my advice, and now it's the time for orders.

    And we beasts remember, even if Dwarfs forget, that Narnia was never right except when a son of Adam was King.”

    Firstly, because my old heart has carried these secret memories so long that it aches with them and would burst if I did not whisper them to you.
