PAMSA celebrates World Book Day with some of best book quotes

World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, or International Day of the Book, is marked annually on April 23. This year however, it takes place at a time when the world news reads like a science fiction novel.

Samantha Choles, spokesperson for the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (PAMSA), says, “There is something we love more than paper, and that’s the stuff made from it. Like books.” 

With South Africa’s lockdown extended for a further two weeks, it’s good time to unplug from the information overload, and open a book. “To inspire you, we have collated a treasury of quotes and quips from some of the world’s best-loved authors, both classic and contemporary, and their titles,” she says. “It will also be a good opportunity to see how many of these books you have read and which to add to your list.”

Classic quotes

“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.” Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein

“Seaward ho! Hang the treasure! It’s the glory of the sea that has turned my head.”  Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.” Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Contemporary quotes

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” Nelson Mandela, The Long Walk to Freedom

“The Mole was a good listener, and Toad, with no one to check his statements or to criticize in an unfriendly spirit, rather let himself go.

For the South African pulp and paper sector, respo For the South African pulp and paper sector, responsibly sourced woodfibre is a non-negotiable. 

This is why “Forests for All Together” - @fsc_international’s theme for this year’s #fscfriday - means so much. 

As a sector we are celebrating the importance of bringing people together to responsibly care for forests – from environmentalists to big business, from Indigenous Peoples to communities and governments, from forest workers to careful consumers, it is essential that we work together to care for our forests. 

Buy locally produced paper as far as possible and check the source.
