Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival: inspiring quotes

Festivals provide light, excitement and bring the town to life.  Books provide inspiration.

As part of this year’s digital Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival, we asked colleagues if they have positive go-to quotes from much-loved books.  We loved them so much we wanted to share a selection to help bring literature to life:

There is always light behind the clouds.

Louisa May Alcott – Little Women

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

Victor Hugo – Les Miserables

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.

A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh

 Sometimes a pebble is thrown onto the path we’re walking and we trip before staggering slowly back to our feet.

Tea & Chemo – Jackie Buxton
