Favorite quote-
There was nothing that instantly came to mind, nor was there anything I remembered (such as "well dad always used to say"). I think the most memorable quote I've recently heard that stuck with me for a while was the quote (aka novella) I posted from Til We Have Faces. I guess a shorter quote would be what I have at the top of my blog. See. Up there on the right.
"And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story..."
This is the end of The Last Battle in the Chronicles of Narnia series. I just love C.S. Lewis so much that he can turn his entire work of fiction into something that steps into reality. At this point in the book our adventurers have finally finished their duties and have been told to go further up and further in. They finally reach "heaven". Once they enter, Mr. Lewis graces the pages with this quote. Not only is it a great ending to a wonderful series, but it's something to keep in the back of your mind always. Eventually, it will be the end of all the stories but it will truly just be the beginning.
Any favorite quotes out there?
