A powerful dragon crying its eyes out under the moon in a deserted valley is a sight and a sound hardly to be imagined.

More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
A voice had begun to sing. It was very far away and Digory found it hard to decide from what direction it was coming. Sometimes it seemed to come from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming out of the earth beneath them. Its lower notes were deep enough to be the voice of the earth herself. There were no words. It was hardly a tune. But it was beyond comparison, the most beautiful sound he had ever heard.C.S. Lewis
Though it was bright sunshine everyone felt suddenly cold. The only two people present who seemed to be quite at their ease were Aslan and the Witch herself. It was the oddest thing to see those two faces - the golden face and the dead-white face so close together. Not that the Witch looked Aslan exactly in his eyes; Mrs Beaver particularly noticed this.

The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God. What we try to keep for ourselves is just what we are sure to lose.

I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on.
C.S. Lewis
In those days a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise the greatest service we can to education today is to teach few subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.
C.S. Lewis
When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.
