Quotes from Richard Griffiths movies and TV shows

Hector: The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.

Hector: Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on.

Hector: At school you don't get parole. Good behavior just brings a longer sentence.

Uncle Monty: I adore you. Tell him if you must, I no longer care. I mean to have you even if it must be burglary.

Monty: I can never touch meat until it's cooked. As a youth I used to weep in butcher's shops.
