“I say,” put in Shasta in rather a shocked voice, “oughtn’t you to say ‘May he live for ever’?”
“Why?” asked the Horse. “I’m a free Narnian.  And why should I talk slaves’ and fools’ talk?  I don’t want him to live for ever, and I know that he’s not going to live for ever whether I want him to or not.”

-C. S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia, (New York: HarperCollins, 2005), 210
