Half the world is composed by people who have something to say and can't. The other half have nothing to say and keep on saying it


The brain is a wonderful organ, it starts working form the moment you get up and does not stop until you get to the office/ or school / college/ university!!


Every man has a right to be concieted until he is successful

There was this really cool quote in Inkheart...something about
Spoiler Tag because I TOTALLY ruined the line...:eek:...if anybody wants to ruin it for them, please proceed!!! Its the line outside Mo's office...also, apologies if anybody has already mentioned it!!:p

Some books being gobbled, some books must be chewed slowly and digested carefully

....that's not the whole Quote....(need to look it up...at the library...to which I'm not going today...) but if someone can supply it, Please DO!!!:)

Some books should be tasted
some devoured,
but only a few
should be chewed and digested thoroughly.

I think thats the quote you mean.. its from page 14(well page 14 of my copy) of Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, chapter one! I love it too.. its just so true!

I also found another good quote from Inkheart:
"'What on earth have you packed in here? Bricks?' asked Mo...
'You're the one who says books have to be heavy because the whole world's inside them,' said Maggie." p25

My favourite poem of all time is this one from the Riddle:
Do not twine garlands of myrtle for my forehead
Nor pluck sweet roses to adorn me
Make me a crown of sombre violets
For I am dying

The sweet lips of the maidens of Busk
And the flashing feet of dancing goatherds
Will never again quicken my desire
For I am dying

Come to me merciful Meripon
In your ebony chariot draw by swallows
From the dim halls beyond the gates
For I am dying

I kiss the peaks of Lamedon with my eyes
And the white arms of the passionate seas
Which loves this island that I love
For I am dying

I think i like it so much because for me it mirrors the events in the novel.
Maerad's essentially loss of innocence when she kills the bard
Though maybe i am just talking rubbish!

a good quote, i believe it wasd Winston Churchill iirc, thoiugh i may be wrong


"She looked like a million dollars...albeit in very well used notes"

[Clavila]

THANKS, SadeiJO, that was EXACTLY the one I was looking for!!!:D

[Fallen-Petals]

I love the poem too its my favourite one in the whole book I think

[SadeiJo]

Your welcome Clavila.. what a pretty name!

I started reading Inkheart again after i found the quote:D

"We are all liars when it serves our purpose." From Inkheart but I believe the Winterking says something similar.
