What does Montag steal at the fire?

Identify the speaker and the character being spoken to: “You know the law. Where’s your common sense? None of those books agree with each other. You’ve been locked up here for years with a regular damned Tower of Babel. Snap out of it! The people in those books never lived. Come on now!

What theme is illustrated in this excerpt? "On the front porch where she had come to weigh them quietly with her eyes, her quietness a condemnation, the woman stood motionless. Beatty flicked his fingers to spark the kerosene. He was too late. Montag gasped. The woman on the porch reached out with contempt to them all, and struck the kitchen match against the railing. People ran out of houses all down the street."

Where in his house does Montag hide the books?

Identify the speaker: "...take my word for it, I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They're about non existent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're non fiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost."
