Books are not just giving us stories. I believe that a good book should also give us an enlightenment. Here are some quotes from some of my favourite books.
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals"
- Sirius Black, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!"
- Albus Dumbledore, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself."
- Percy Jackson, in The Lightning Thief
"Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face. "
- Percy Jackson, in The Lightning Thief
"In a way, it's nice to know there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some divine force really is trying to mess up your day."
- Percy Jackson, in The Lightning Thief
"Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing."
— (The Lightning Thief)
"According to some*, heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking."
* Generally those who don't have to do it. Politicians and writers spring to mind
- Bartimaeus, Ptolemy's Gate
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
- The Alchemist
“When you want something with all your heart, that’s when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It’s always a positive force.”
- The Alchemist
“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
- The Alchemist
“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
- The Alchemist
