Quotations From The Book

Which is the best book which has huge collection of quotes?

I'm personally a lover of quotes, especially those which revolve around the eccentricities of life so I always look out for books which have ample of them. I must say Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts will always be my favourite in this category. It os so beautifully written with amazing quotes woven in such a way that the reader would nothing but fall in love with this book. If you've not read this one then I would say run to a book store asap and grab a copy. You'll never regret reading this one! :)

Reading Comprehension: How do I use quotations from the book to support my view?

First of all, highlight the important quotations and/or make notes while reading. These must be quoted word by word if referring to them, with formal reference to the source / author if you have to submit your work in writing. Beside the formal requirements (quotation marks, references, layout; whateves applies), consider two important aspects:1) Focus on key thoughts (those which really mean the essence of something) or important details that should be considered2) Never isolate a single thought from its context: don't try to find a part of a thought that is supporting your view about the subject if the author is argumenting for the opposite. All statements should be examined and considered within the context they were said / written.

What are some notable quotations from The Fountainhead (1943 book)?

Here are a few of the many quotations from the "THE FOUNTAINHEAD" which have inspired me.1)This conversation between Howard Roark & the Dean had taught me about perseverance, not to retreat just because a few people are telling "you can't", because a few stand against you.2)The following lines have inspired me to choose the work I love & never to compromise about it."But you see, I have, let's say, sixty years to live. Most of that time will be spent working. I've chosen the work I want to do. If I find no joy in it, then I'm only condemning myself to sixty years of torture. And I can find the joy only if I do my work in the best way possible to me. But the best is a matter of standards--and I set my own standards. I inherit nothing. I stand at the end of no tradition. I may, perhaps, stand at the beginning of one."-Roark3)The following lines taught me not to waste time arguing with the unreasonable, the senseless, the stupidity."Reason can be fought with reason. How are you going to fight the unreasonable? The trouble with you, my dear, and with most people, is that you don’t have sufficient respect for the senseless. The senseless is the major factor in our lives. You have no chance if it is your enemy."-Toohey4)These lines told me that life is too short to live someone else's life.“I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.”-Roark to Wynand5)And here comes the most inspiring lines which tells not to be afraid in taking first steps down the new road."Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received--hatred. The great creators--the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors--stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The first airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won." -Roark's courtroom speech
