LOL Varna! I'd completely forgotten about that quote. Oh dear, politics.
(Did I just break forum rules?)
Anyways, "I was the Lion" passage is about the best in the series. It is so amazing how Aslan made everything that seemed like bad luck or danger or meaningless pain turn out for the best, to protect Narnia.
I also really like
Polly and Digory stared at one another in dismay.
"Well, I do think someone might have arranged about our meals," said Digory.
"I'm sure Aslan would have, if you'd asked him," said Fledge.
"Wouldn't he know without being asked?" said Polly.
"I've no doubt he would," said the Horse (still with his mouth full). "But I've a sort of idea he likes to be asked."
It's a simple quote, but I think it has a lot of truth about prayer in it.
As far as my LEAST favorite quote... I have one. Not because it's badly written, but because it's so dismal.
Boom-boom-ba-ba-boom went the horrible drum. Then another sound began to mix with it. "Listen!" said Jewel: and then, "Look!" said Farsight. A moment later there was no doubt what it was. With a thunder of hoofs, with tossing heads, widened nostrils, and waving manes, over a score of Talking Horses of Narnia came charging up the hill. The gnawers and nibblers had done their work.
Poggin the Dwarf and the children opened their mouths to cheer but that cheer never came. Suddenly the air was full of the sound of twanging bow-strings and hissing arrows. It was the Dwarfs who were shooting and--for a moment Jill could hardly believe her eyes--they were shooting the Horses. Dwarfs are deadly archers. Horse after Horse rolled over. Not one of these noble Beasts ever reached the King.
I can't remember if I've ever read a passage in any book where I had a stronger reaction to the unfairness of it.
