I'm kind of really sorry that I haven't been updating here (I'm still not sure how many people read this, other than my mom and maybe my sister), but I've been swamped with stuff going on IRL. We've had the first wave of exams this week and last week, so I've had tests in four of my five classes. I've been trying to make an effort to work out some personal issues that I've been having. I'm not going to go into that here, but suffice to say, I've been learning a lot and it hasn't necessarily been easy.
Anyhow, I thought I'd leave you with a quotation that I found while reading yesterday. I've been re-reading through CS Lewis' Narnia books, specifically this time, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. First of all, two of the more "fun" quotes, then a serious one.
"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." (CS Lewis' narration, when he's talking about Eustace. This is the first sentence in the book...)
"Between ourselves, you haven't been as bad as I was on my first trip to Narnia. You were only an ass, but I was a traitor." (Edmund to Eustace after the dragon incident. You'll have to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe or at least be familiar with the storyline of that book to understand the full scope of this.)
"Dearest," said Aslan very gently, "you and your brother will never come back to Narnia."
[...]
"It isn't Narnia you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"
"But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.
"Are--are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.
"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. That is the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
I don't think I really need to say anything about that last quote, other than it's at the very end of the book. And it's become one of my favourite CS Lewis quotes in a very short amount of time. Anyhow, take care, everyone!~
