Not all of it, but most of it. My mother's side of the family are very religious. I'm not very much into religion myself though, and don't think I would read the Bible again anytime soon.

Group G:
Fagin, Oliver Twist (Charles Dickens) 'When the boy is worth a hundred pounds to me, am I to lose what chance threw me in the way of getting safely, through the whims of a drunken gang that I could whistle away the lives of! And me bound, too, to a born devil, that only wants the will and has the power'" "Bull" McCabe, The Field (John B. Keane) Go on father, go on. Lock the gates to God's house. Sure they were locked at the time of the Famine too. No priest died the time of the Famine: only poor people like us. Pantalaimon (Philip Pullman) Her dćmon's name was Pantalaimon, and he was currently in the form of a moth, a dark brown one so as not to show up in the darkness of the hall. Mephistophilis, Doctor Faustus (Christopher Marlowe) “Think’st thou that I who saw the face of God And tasted the eternal joy of heaven Am not tormented with ten thousand hells In being deprived of everlasting bliss? O Faustus, leave these frivolous demands Which strikes a terror to my fainting soul!” Captain Ahab, Moby Dick (Herman Melville) Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return! Harry Potter (JK Rowling) My father died trying to protect my mother and me, and you reckon he'd tell you to abandon your kid to go on an adventure with us? Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's (Truman Capote) You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. I must say, the mind reels. Dorian Gray, The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. Arya Stark, A Song of Fire and Ice series (George R.R. Martin) Wizards die the same as other men, once you cut their heads off. Lady Runcie-Campbell - The Cone Gatherers (Robin Jenkins) “Haven’t we got the right to keep ourselves alive? Is the Lady like the rain, and the thunder and lightning…” George, The Famous Five series (Enid Blyton) George is actually a girl who wants so desperately to be a boy she crops her hair and struts about doing boy things. She hates it when people call her by her correct name, Georgina. She has a dog called Timmy—oh yes, and an island. Most kids just have a dog, but George's parents own Kirrin Island and let her run around on it as if it were her play-thing. Her parents are known to Julian, Dick and Anne as Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny. Cassie Logan, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (Mildred D. Taylor) "What happened to T.J. in the night I did not understand, but I knew that it would not pass. And I cried for those thing which had happened in the night and would not pass." Willy Wonka, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl) "Everything in this room is eatable. In fact even I am eatable, but that is called canabalism my dear children and is frowned upon in most civilizations.”

Group H:
Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling) I'm not blamin' yeh … but I gotta tell yeh, I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats. Tha's all. Hermione Granger, Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling) Ron, just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have. Susannah Dean (Stephen King) I am three women…I who was; I who had no right to be but was; I am the woman you have saved. I thank you gunslinger. Duncan, Macbeth (William Shakespeare) There's no art To find the mind's construction in the face: He was a gentleman on whom I built An absolute trust. Cleopatra, Antony and Cleopatra (William Shakespeare) O, wither’d is the garland of the war! The soldier’s pole is fall'n; young boys and girls Are level now with men; the odds is gone, And there is nothing left remarkable Beneath the visiting moon. George Milton, Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck) They come, an' they quit an' go on; an' every damn one of 'em's got a little piece of land in his head. An' never a God damn one of 'em ever gets it. Just like heaven. Ever'body wants a little piece of lan'. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head Carrie (Stephen King) Jesus watches from the wall, but his face is cold as stone. And if he loves me - as she tells me - why do I feel so all alone? Sephy Hadley, Noughts & Crosses series (Malorie Blackman) coming from a powerful Cross family, Sephy falls in love with a Nought, and eventually has a mixed-race daughter with him. She is one of the few people to fight for equality among Noughts and Crosses. Quote: “I hadn’t realised just how powerful words could be before this.” Guy Montag, Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury) "Some day the load we're carrying with us may help someone. But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn't use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us. We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And some day we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddamn steam-shovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up. Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror-factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them." Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) If I were assured of your eventual destruction I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept my own. Little John, Robin Hood (???) But while there is / A merry man / In Robin's wily pack / We'll find a way / To make him pay / And steal our money back! / A minute before he knows we're there, / Ol Rob'll snatch his underwear. Richard Sharpe (Bernard Cromwell) You can put Sharpe up against 10,000 French men, and he's not going to be that scared, but put him up against a pretty woman, and he's terrified. Violet Baudelaire, A Series of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket) Count Olaf: Ah! My dear... [looks at stick figures of the children with their names on his hands] Violet. Enchanté. Violet: Um... how do you do?
