“Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad.” SaidBookBlackBrainDangerousMadLegsWicked Book:Fly By Night Source: Fly By Night
“Truth is dangerous. It topples palaces and kills kings. It stirs gentle men to rage and bids them take up arms. It wakes old grievances and opens forgotten wounds. It is the mother of the sleepless night and the hag-ridden day. And yet there is one thing that is more dangerous than Truth. Those who would silence Truth’s voice are more destructive by far. It is most perilous to be a speaker of Truth. Sometimes one must choose to be silent, or be silenced. But if a truth cannot be spoken, it must at least be known. Even if you dare not speak truth to others, never lie to yourself.” IfsMenSometimesLyingMotherNightSpeakVoiceSilenceKnownOne ThingDangerousArmsKingsTruth IsSilentForgottenDareRageWoundsGentleDestructiveSpeakersPalacesSpeak The TruthGrievanceNever LieSleepless Nights Author:Frances Hardinge
