All C. S. LEWIS Quotes about “Horses”

“No one can teach riding so well as a horse.”
“We're free Narnians, Hwin and I, and I suppose, if you're running away to Narnia you want to be one too. In that case Hwin isn't your horse any longer. One might just as well say you're her human.”
“God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.”
“But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.”
“The value of the myth is that it takes all the things we know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by â€˜the veil of familiarity.â€™ The child enjoys his cold meat, otherwise dull to him, by pretending it is buffalo, just killed with his own bow and arrow. And the child is wise. The real meat comes back to him more savory for having been dipped in a storyâ€¦by putting bread, gold, horse, apple, or the very roads into a myth, we do not retreat from reality: we rediscover it.”
