“I really should have gone into medicine instead of publishing. Sometimes though. I think pushing books is a lot like pushing medicine. Think of books as pills. And I have pills to cure ignorance, pills to cure boredom, pills to elevate moods and pills to open people's eyes to the awful truth.”
Ed Begley Jr. - Rupert

“Some things belong on paper, others in life. It's a blessed fool who can't tell the difference.”
Kate Winslet - Madeleine

“All my knowledge came from books, and I'd just finished a novel about a glamorous French actress from the Comedie Francaise. That's the theater in France. When she wanted to arouse a man's interest, she treated him like a dog.”

Margaret Sullavan - Klara Novak

“I'm writing a novel myself. I'd be very disappointed if you gentlemen don't burn it.”

George Macready - Schoolteacher

“- Mayor Henry Manville: These books must be burned, Professor Sorel.

- Mayor Henry Manville: Voltaire. Plato. The Republic. My dear friend, we have to be careful about that word: Republic.”
Thurston Hall - Mayor Henry Manville
Philip Merivale - Professor Sorel
