“It is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe.”
“Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe just like I told you!”
“She remembered, as every sensible person does, that you should never never shut yourself up in a wardrobe.”
“She did not shut it properly because she knew that it is very silly to shut oneself into a wardrobe, even if it is not a magic one.”
“This was bad grammar of course, but that is how beavers talk when they are excited; I mean, in Narnia--in our world they usually don't talk at all.- The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe”
“Something inside us, the feeling of resentment, the feeling that wants to get one's own back, must be simply killed. I do not mean that anyone can decide this moment that he will never feel it anymore. That is not how things happen. I mean that every time it bobs its head up, day after day, year after year, all our lives long, we must hit it on the head. It is hard work, but the attempt is not impossible.”
