Further up and Further in!

To wrap up the Narnia series, this long overdue post will help me remember some of my favorite moments in the last few books. Thank you C.S Lewis for capturing my imagination, wrapping me up in a reality that is truer than the one that I’m living in, feeding my mind and giving my heart a yearning for what is most worthy to be longed for than all the desires in this world. I look forward to meeting you some day in the new Narnia!

The Silver Chair

“I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia.”

“Suppose... suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars, and moon, and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems to me that the made-up things are a good deal better than the real ones. And if this black pits of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it's a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow.”

“Aslan didn't tell Pole what would happen. He only told her what to do. That fellow will be the death of us once he's up, I shouldn't wonder. But that doesn't let us off following the signs.”

 

The Horse and his boy

“Onward and Upward! To Narnia and the North!”

“But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.”

"I was the lion who forced you to join with Avaris. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you."

 

The Last Battle

“She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age.”

“Well done, last of the Kings of Narnia, who stood firm at the darkest hour.”

"I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!"
