C. S. Lewis
- The Silver Chair
Suppose... suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars, and moon, and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems to me that the made-up things are a good deal better than the real ones. And if this black pit of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it's a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow.
Puck - Midsummer Nights Dream
- If we shadows have offended
If we shadows have offended, This but this, and all is mended, That you have by slumbered here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentiles, do not reprehend: If you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck No to 'scape the serpent's tongue; We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
