Suppose... suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars, and moon, and Aslan himself.

And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow.
("The Silver Chair")
More Quotes from C.S. Lewis:
You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.C.S. Lewis

There is a number among us, young and old, of all sorts almost among us, that swarm up and down towns, and woods, and fields, whose care and work hitherto hath been like bees, only to get honey to their own hive.
