OH…that reminds me of something I noticed when I watched The Fellowship of the Ring the other night…

"We have work to do"
–Saruman

"We have work to do"
–White Witch

anyone else noticed that? Someone stole a line from someone…it's such a nice sinister line too.

I heard somewhere that the guy who acts for Saruman in "Lord of the Rings" would drill the other actors on how they said their lines to best represent the book. They should have more people who do that acting in movies that are created off of books!

Yes, they definitely should! Christopher Lee is one of my favorite actors because of his role as Saruman–and Count Dooku in Star Wars. :D

"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.”

Jesus Christ did not say, "Go into all the world and tell the world that it is quite right"

"It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one."

I think that this one is my favorite:

“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”
–C. S. Lewis

I may have posted some of these before, but C. S. Lewis has such a great way of saying things!

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me"

“I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner. …I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life – namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.” – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
C. S. Lewis
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'
C. S. Lewis
Try to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean. That is the whole are and joy of words.
C. S. Lewis
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”

“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”

“It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.” (I should do this more…)

“Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.” (one reason I try to never waste time by crying.)

“The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.” (And he was talking 70 years ago! Now it's like trying to irrigate the surface of the moon.)

“That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never can carry a map in their heads."
"That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.” (any other girls that can't carry maps in their heads?)

“The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” (starts to be scary, if you think about it long enough…

“Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.”

“Ah, you've come over the water. Powerful wet stuff, ain't it?”

and one specially for you, Margaret:
“Puddleglum,' they've said, 'You're altogether too full of bobance and bounce and high spirits. You've got to learn that life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie. You want something to sober you down a bit. We're only saying it for your own good, Puddleglum.' That's what they say. Now a job like this –a journey up north just as winter's beginning looking for a prince that probably isn't there, by way of ruined city nobody's ever seen– will be just the thing. If that doesn't steady a chap, I don't know what will.”

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.' C. S. Lewis

the I've heard that quote is this: "There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Alright, then, have it your way.'

“Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us.”

“if you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one.”

“Puddleglum's my name. But it doesn't matter if you forget it. I can always tell you again.”

(I may or may not have about 14 pages of C.S. Lewis quotes on my computer…)
