“A beggar's book outworths a noble's blood.”
“Beggars, especially noble beggars, should never show themselves in the street; they should ask for alms through the newspapers. It's still possible to love one's neighbor abstractly, and even occasionally from a distance, but hardly ever up close.”
“There are noble books but one wants the breath of life sometimes.”
“Oi’m always noble, sir; it’s in my blood. ’As been ever since Oi ate that knight a few years back. Why?”
“Don't change the beggar into a conqueror, because it was the beggar who led you to conquest.”
“I love books, they're in my blood.”
