“Does that mean the French are getting in on the act?"
"Actually, they were in on the act before we got here. That's why so much French is spoken. Their legal system, for instance, is based on the Napoleonic Code."
"You want to watch that. They could take advantage of that. You want to get them out."
"In fact, we did get them out. That's why we're here.”
― The Mark of the Pasha

“Is there anything interesting about cotton growing?" someone asked.
"Oh, a lot!" Paul answered him.
"What does it...do?"
"Do? Well it...sort of...grows."
"Like weeds?" said someone helpfully.
"Yes. No. No, not like weeds."
"Like roses, perhaps?" suggested the rose fancier.
"Yes. You could say that. Almost."
"Wouldn't it be all white, though? I mean, the flowers?"
"That doesn't sound very interesting," said someone doubtfully.
"And green," put in Paul hastily. "Green too." Paul was not much of an agriculturalist.”
