Peter Cook, (deceased), a British comedian of the mid-late 20th century; played the clergyman who spoke the famous lines,"Mawwiage is what bwings us togevah today."
“Not all of us can choose what we give up. The things we love are taken or are never ours at all. If we’re lucky, life is defined not by what we let go, but what we let in: friendship and kind words, frailty and hope.”

"I am,” said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
