Guess The Book Quote
Post a book...
Post a book quote, and see if other CBers can guess it! I'll start:
“It's not natural for women to fight."
"It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand.”

" You that live in my ancestral Thebes, behold this ********, — Him who knew the famous riddles and was a man most masterful; not a citizen who did not look with envy on his lot— see him now and see the breakers of misfortune swallow him! Look upon that last day always. Count no mortal happy till he has passed the final limit of his life secure from pain."
where is this from and who said it?
(Smies for he bets not even the Best readers here can guess it.)

Mark of Athena? D'Aualires Book of Greek Myths? The Illiad? I'm grasping at loose straws, sorry.

Ah, but you have chosen my favorite play, so this is easy for me! This is Oedipus and the chorus speaking.

The Book Thief? Series of Unfortunate Events?
(June 12, 2017 - 7:15 pm)
Hmm. . . sounds like Series of Unfortunate Events. . .
(June 15, 2017 - 9:09 pm)
That sounds familiar, but I can't place it... I'm going to take a wild guess and say either Inkheart or The Book Thief.
