IGCSE Literature quotation revision builds a bank you can adapt — not a script to paste regardless of the question. For 0475, short quotes with line references (where required) beat long blocks.

Rules

1. Quality over quantity — 15 strong quotes per major text beats 50 loose lines.
2. Practise embedding — “When X says ‘…’, the writer …”
3. Drop quotes that never fit past questions your teacher sets.
4. Re-read scenes around each quote so context is accurate.
