Jasmine’s Notes & Highlights

The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan

6 highlights

If you're going to be killed you invent some kind of flag and country to fight for, and if you survive you get to love the thing.

“After all, words are what remain when all the deeds have been done. Words can shatter faith; start a war; change the course of history. A story can make your heart beat faster; topple walls; scale mountains - hey, a story can even raise the dead. And that's why the King of Stories ended up being the King of the gods; because writing history and making history are only the breadth of a page apart.”
― Joanne Harris, The Gospel of Loki
