LITERATURE QUOTES

KNOW AND LEARN THESE LITERATURE QUOTES!!!

HUCKLEBERRY FINN:  (1 & 2)

"We catched fish and talked, and we took a swim now and then to keep off sleepiness. It was kind of solemn, drifting down the big, still river, laying on our backs, looking up at the stars, and we didn't ever feel like talking loud, and it warn't often that we laughed - only a little kind of a low chuckle.

This is from chapter 12 of Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" which features Huck and Jim. The major theme of this book is turning one's back on the deceit and shallowness of civilisation and getting back to what is real and true. 

ANGELA'S ASHES: (3 & 4)

"When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived it all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.

"Angela's Ashes" is the book by Irish writer Frank McCourt and spans life from his childhood in Ireland to that of his life in America. I intensely dislike the orchestrated ugliness of this book, particularly its ending, and feel it detracts from the entire work.

WINSTON CHURCHILL: (5 & 6)

"A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Sir Winston Churchill, statesman, politician, orator, leader of the United Kingdom through its darkest hours, won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1953 for his many writings, which included a six volume set titled "The Second World War". His own life story makes remarkable reading.

DEATH OF A SALESMAN: (7 & 8)

"I've got to get some seeds. I've got to get some seeds, right away. Nothing's planted. I don't have a thing in the ground.

Spoken by Willy Loman in Act Two of "Death Of A Salesman" by Arthur Miller, this work is the agonising story of one man's struggle for conception of self and what he sees as the successful life, contrasted against what is his actuality.

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS: (9 & 10)

There is only now, and if two days is your life, then everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you will never get, you will have a good life."

For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway is the story of a young American in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. These words are spoken by the main character, Robert Jordan, in chapter thirteen, after he and Maria have made love in the heather. Dear me, how prickly.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE: (11 & 12)

"I pass the lighted windows of a shop where perfume is sold. The window is filled with pieces of broken glass, tiny transparent bottles in delicate colours, like bits of a shattered rainbow. Then all at once my sister touches my shoulder.. Oh Laura, Laura, I tried to leave you behind me, but I am more faithful than I intended to be!...I speak to the nearest stranger, anything that can blow your candles out!...Blow out your candles, Laura - and so goodbye."

This work by Tennessee Williams tells of a family trapped in destructive behaviour patterns. The quote is from Tom, many years later, long after he has left the home of his youth, turning his back on them all.

THE GREAT GATSBY: (13 & 14)

If it wasn't for the mist we could see your home across the bay...You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock.

The main theme in "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is that which runs through many of the mighty American novels - that of the disillusionment of the great American Dream. For Gatsy, in this novel, Daisy represents this dream and its disillusionment.

 HENRY V: (15 & 16)

 "I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The games afoot: Follow your spirit; and upon this charge, Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!

This stirring speech is from Shakespeare's Henry V, Act 3, Scene I. Another jolly battle and more blood and guts. Tallyho, boys!

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST: (17 & 18)

"To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

Written by the brilliant Oscar Wilde, these words are spoken by Lady Bracknell in Act One of "The Importance of Being Ernest". This amusing and clever play deals with several characters maintaining false identities to avoid all the rigid social and moral expectations of that time in Victorian England. And didn't poor old Oscar find that out big time.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST: (19 & 20)

"What worries me, Billy," she said - I could hear the change in her voice - "is how your mother is going to take this.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey is a powerful novel about the individual's struggle against the authority and repression and conformity that society demands - symbolised in the book by one man's struggle against the nurse in control of an insane asylum.
