[On Caspian being told by Aslan that he is descended from human pirates who entered the world of Narnia from "our world" generations before...]
“Do you mark all this well, King Caspian?”
“I do indeed, Sir,” said Caspian. “I was wishing that I came from a more honourable lineage”.
“You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,” said Aslan. “And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.”
Caspian bowed.
(Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis)
