And I believe that was from the Lost Battle, and talking about the dwarves refusing to see Aslan.

See, I have a lost quote. I can't remember what it's from. Can you help? If you have other lost quotes, post them here. ? wrote: "Make sure you're right, and then go ahead." That's all I can remember. I think it was used once in a conversation between a father and son, and the son wanted to marry a girl who was probably controversial, but that's all I remember. It was a running theme. I want to say it's Dekker, but I don't think so. Dekker's running theme was "Follow your heart," and I just don't see this fitting in. And it doesn't match the mental picture I have of a father telling it to his son. |

Never heard that before... Did C.S Lewis do this one? C.S. Lewis? wrote: The very trouble about trying to make yourself dumber than you really are is that you very often succeed. Is that what it is, or did I change some words?

@Vanya: Actually, Davy Crockett said that Jaynin. But the words of the quote are correct. @ Elanhil: Actually, the quote is Quote: The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. And yes Elanhil, it was Lewis. |

No, that was actually in the Magician's Nephew when Uncle Andrew tells himself the lion is only roaring. The dwarf quote is something along the lines of: They are so afraid of being taken in that they will not allow themselves to be taken out. |

Yes, that's what I mean, Aiva. I thought he used something similar to that effect when talking about the dwarves though, as well...OOOOOH! Wait. No. That as about "Being taken in" not "making yourself stupider" Opposite problem. Being smart and trying to be stupid, or being stupid and thinking you're smart.

That is the only person I know who said that. However, someone else could have said it too. It is a loose enough quote that it could have been said by multiple different people, I suppose. But yes, Davy did say that. |

I can't think of any quotes...but I do remember Davy Crockett saying something like that, in the Disney movie.
