Amy’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Queen of the World (Book 1)

Queen of the World (Book 1) by Ben Hennessy

2 highlights

“Well, well. What would the world say if they knew the legendary Four sat around discussing each other’s housekeeping habits.”

“And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.”
― Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

68 likes

“Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Folklore of Discworld

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

“I'm like a starving man who has been given food. Maybe he's cold, and his clothes are torn, and he's ashamed, but he's not unhappy.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
