If things are real, they're there all the time.
Always winter but never Christmas.
All names will soon be restored to their proper owners.
I see you are an idiot, whatever else you may be...
He's not safe, but he's good (referring to Aslan, the Lion, in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)
Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe just like I told you!
For Narnia and for Aslan!
He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.
This must be a simply enormous 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.
And so for a time it looked as if all the adventures were coming to and end; but that was not to be.
But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.
If you are worried about the people outside, the most unreasonable thing you can do is remain outside yourself. Christians are Christ's body...every addition to that body enables Him to do more. If you want to help those outside you must add your own little cell to the body of Christ who along can help them. Cutting off a man's fingers would be a odd way of getting him to do more work.
Prosperity knits a man to the world.
