What do you think are the most important quotes/passages in the book March? What passage is shocking to you and really gets you thinking, and what...

Many quotes from ' novel

are thought provoking. Here are a few of my favorites.

1.
You go on. You set one foot in front of the other, and if a thin voice cries
out,
somewhere behind you, you pretend not to hear, and keep going.

For me this
quote is both shocking and lovely. In one sense, the
quote speaks about focus and determination.
On the other hand, the quote also
speaks to ignoring need.

2. For to know
a man's library
is, in some measure, to know his mind.

As an English

teacher, I find this quote to be very true. It is like looking at a man's home. By
looking
around, one can tell more about a man. The old cliche about a man's
shoes is very similar. A
library speaks great things about a person. I do
think that the quote needs a little hint: make
sure the books have been read.

3. I am not alone in this."

When used
out of context, this quote can be very inspiring. it reminds people that they

are not alone. Unfortunately, when the the following sentences are added, the meaning of
the
quote changes dramatically.

I only
let him do to me what
men have ever done to women: march off to empty glory
and hollow acclaim and leave us behind to
pick up the pieces. The broken
cities, the burned barns, the innocent injured beasts, the ruined
bodies of
the boys we bore and the men we lay with.

This
reminds readers that life is not filled with positive things.
Instead, life can be very hard.
