Favourite Book Quotes

A collection of my favourite book quotes.

"How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow." - Mary Shelley, Frnakenstein.

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit. 

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one." - George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons. 

“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. 

"Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape." - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather. 

"To give the short version, I've learnt that every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness you will arrive at happiness. For us, you see, having autism is normal -- so we can't know for sure what your 'normal' is even like." - Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump.
