Hi, I'm a uni student and an avid reader currently situated in Australia. I'm always reading at least one book. Sometimes it's more than ten. If you like my shelf (or not) shoot me a message. I love meeting other readers.
Here are some quotations I liked from books I'm currently reading or recently read:
“The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn’t look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they came to the crucifixion, they naturally thought, and Rosewater read out loud again: Oh, boy - they sure picked the wrong guy to lynch that time! And that thought had a brother: ‘There are right people to lynch.’ Who? People not well connected. So it goes.”
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
"We are dealing here with human beings, and human beings are known universally as the only animals capable of lying, and while it is true that they sometimes lie out of fear and sometimes out of self-interest, they also occasionally lie because they realise, just in time, that this is the only means available to them of defending the truth."
Seeing by Jose Saramago
