It one of those Cold War era dystopian novels, maybe Brave New World, or maybe 1984, or maybe Farenheit 451. Anyone know for sure? Also, anyone know a website where I can look up sources of quotes? thanks -- Joni

No, it wasn't Ionesco's -Rhinoceros-. I never read Ionesco's work but I distinctly remember that quote from Brave New World or something similar. Thanks.

I found a quotable search engine on the net. I don't know if it has the quote you are looking for; but at least I may be able to point you in the right direction.

I think that quote was in the movie Fahrenheit 451. Toward the end of the movie; there are a collection of people who memorise books; and I think that quote is where an old man about to die is teaching his book to a young child about 5 or 6 years old.
I don't think the movie tells which book the old man is teaching the child though.

Nor could it choose desktops, the style new paper. of course, the 1st century Christians could have had despite equivalent. They went from residence to residence yet all of us understand the artwork, because of the fact the finished difficulty of God, is prepared. So each individual wanted to understand who went the place and how a good distance. This substitute into so others could bypass to diverse areas of the cities. How did they shop visual reveal unit? all of us understand they could not improve each and all the scrolls around with them. that they had studied sufficient from early early life onward to have a outstanding understanding of the holy writings from memory. possibly they simply remembered the place they went and who they met. I in basic terms understand i'm unable to come very nearly doing that. What did I say? Oh! Yeah. The Bible is our "ultimate Authority". it is going to would desire to be so for each actual Christian.

Joni:
It sounds like it's from "Rhinoceros" by Eugene Ionesco.
Good luck.
