Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury
Faber: Professor Faber's role and motivations are complex, at times he tries to help Montag to think independently and at other times he tries to dominate him.A former English professor, who represents those who know what is being done is wrong, but are too fearful to act. Bradbury notes in his afterword that Faber is part of the name of a German manufacturer of pencils, Faber-Castell.
Memorable Quotes by Faber:
“The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.”
“The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the Universe together into one garment for us.”
“It's not books you need, it's some of the things that once were in books.”
“Books show the pores in the face of life.”
“If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.”
“But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh God, the terrible tyranny of the majority. We all have our harps to play. And it's up to you now to know with which ear you'll listen.”
“Number one: Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You’d find life under the grass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more ‘literary’ you are. That’s my definition, anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.”
“For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last.”
