Thanks for sharing those C.S. Lewis quotes. I've always really liked that last one (the Mr. Beaver quote). I think that's the best line in the whole book (and there are a lot of good lines in that book). Have a great day.
I know, he has so many quotes. It was so hard to keep the amount I chose down. But I'm glad you liked them. And you are so right about that book, it does have a lot of good lines. :)
