c.s lewis at the end of the chronicles of narnia
......for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beggining of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning chapter one of the great story w/c no one on earth has read: w/c goes on for ever: in w/c every chapter is better than the one before

You can type in "quotes from..." (short stories, plays, etc.) into your internet search engine and get quite a few good ones! You can even search through them and find one that works best for you and what you're doing with them! :)

Hows that for a quote... It is from Ulysses. By: James Joyce.
This is one of my favorites...
