THE QUOTES

Most of Shaun's books open and close with lyrics or quotations drawn from songs, plays, poems, philosophy and more. I've painstakingly worked through each book to track them all down and list them here. Whether it's a car stereo blasting out a Metallica track or a perfectly chosen line from the Bible, you'll find it here — along with details of its original source.

Shaun hasn't always presented the quotations verbatim, so this section shows them exactly as they appear in the books, while also linking to their original versions where possible.

If a quote has a icon next to it, you can click through to an external site for a fuller transcript of the text. If it has a icon, you can view the artwork referenced in the book.

Some quotations are difficult to trace, so if you can help fill in any gaps, please email me. Likewise, if you spot a missing quote, a broken link, or know of a better source than the ones listed, I'd be very grateful if you got in touch.
