But what would have been the good?"
Aslan said nothing.
"You mean," said Lucy rather faintly, "that it would have turned out all right – somehow? But how? Please, Aslan! Am I not to know?"
"To know what would have happened, child?" said Aslan. "No. Nobody is ever told that."

Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. ~ C.S. Lewis

The institutions at the centre of capitalism are bigger than they've ever been, the pay is much greater, the ability of society to get its arms around it is much less.

When I was there it felt like a comedy - and now it feels more like a tragedy. ~ Michael Lewis
