Fahrenheit 451 Quote 1

"So it was his hand that started it all... His hands had been infected, and soon it would be his arms... His hands were ravenous."

Montag stole the book from the old woman's house by impulse. He didn't think at all before he acted. Due to this, his realization is described as if it were an infection, and he knew It would not go away. This quote foreshadows Montag's future actions in the book.

P. 41
