* There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.
* Many 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. Their secret country was real.
* He had turned into a dragon while he was asleep. Sleeping on a dragon’s hoard with greedy, dragonish thoughts in his heart, he had become a dragon himself.
* He was almost afraid to be alone with himself and yet he was ashamed to be with the others.
* Between ourselves, you haven’t need as bad as I was on my first trip to Narnia. You were only an ass, but I was a traitor.
* Oh, Aslan, said she, it was kind of you to come. I have been here all the time, said he, but you have just made me visible.
* Speak on, dear heart.
* Do not look so sad. We shall meet soon again. Please, Aslan, said Lucy, what do you call soon? I call all times soon, said Aslan.
* Courage, dear heart.

* In our world, said Eustace, a Star is a huge ball of flaming gas. Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is but only what it is made of.
* Do you mean to say, asked Caspian, that you three come from a round world (round like a ball) and you never told me! ... I’ve always longed to live in one. It must be exciting to live on a thing like a ball. Have you ever been to the parts where people walk upside down? Edmund shook his head. It isn’t like that, he added. There’s nothing particularly exciting about a round world when you’re there.
* Dearest, said Aslan very gently, you and your brother will never come back to Narnia... you are too old children and you must begin to come close to your own world now.
* Are you there too, Sir? Said Edmund. I am, said Aslan. But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you many know me better there.
