the lion, the witch and the wardrobe

I've been writing alot of blogs lately...haven't I? (you can tell there is a lot of downtime this week at work...)

I was looking through my journal that I keep, and I always write down quotes that I find that I think are either fascinating, or really interesting. As I was reading back through today, I found three that I really like from the book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis. I know, I know, it's a children's book, but I'm still excited about it. I read it for the first time just a couple of months ago.

Chapter 8 page 85.

"Wrong will be right,
when Aslan comes in sight.
At the sound of his roar,
Sorrows will be no more.
When he bares his teeth,
Winter meets its death.
And when he shakes his mane,
We shall have spring again."

Chapter 8 page 86

"Who said anything about safe? Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."

Chapter 8 page 88

"But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that's 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."

And this last one is from the book The Soul Hunter
(sequel to When The Day of Evil Comes)
by Melanie Wells

"Demons enjoy waste, I believe. They prey on the lost and broken while they’re standing on the brink, and then lures them over the edge to an ugly demise. To waste a soul, to trick a human being—the invaluable bearer of divine image—into despair and self-abnegation, this, for him, would be the consummate victory in his strange, twisted game."
