More quotes by Brian Jacques
Knowledge is a thing that one cannot have enough of. It is the fruit of wisdom, to be eaten carefully and digested fully, unlike that lunch you are bolting down, little friend.
Brian Jacques
I sometimes think it ironic for an ex-seaman, longshoreman, truck driver, policeman, bus driver, etc... to find success writing children's novels.
Brian Jacques
Weapons may be carried by creatures who are evil, dishonest, violent or lazy. The true warrior is good, gentle and honest. His bravery comes from within himself he learns to conquer his own fears and misdeeds. —Matthias
Brian Jacques

Brian Jacques
There are enough cowards in the world without killing a brave creature for so little reason.
Brian Jacques

Brian Jacques
But the warriors true, the brave of heart Who valiently upheld the right They are raised on high to the velvet sky Bringing light to the darkness of night
Brian Jacques
Friar Hugo, old friend, brace yourself. I am the bearer of tragic news! Alarm spread across Hugo's pudgy features. Tell me, Jess. What dreadful thing has happened? Jess spoke haltingly in a broken voice. I fear that Cluny has tore up one of your oldest and most venerable dishrags. Alas, Redwall will never see it wipe another plate.
Brian Jacques
In our imaginations we can go anywhere. Travel with me to Redwall in Mossflower country.
Brian Jacques
Throughout his life the memory of that happy day stayed locked secretly in (his) heart.
Brian Jacques
Basil Stag Hare tut-tutted severely as he remarked to Ambrose Spike, 'Tch, tch. Dreadful table manners. Just look at those three wallahs, kicking up a hullaballoo like that! Eating's a serious business.
Brian Jacques
Imagination is a gift given to us from God and each one of us use it differently.
Brian Jacques
I am a people watcher and I have a very good memory.
Brian Jacques
Even the strongest and bravest must sometimes weep. It shows they have a great heart, one that can feel compassion for others. —Cornflower
