“A szomorú rabokat senki se tanította meg levelet írni gyerekkorukban, mert a nyelvkönyvben előbbre való az alany meg az állítmány, ami helyes is, mert hogy tudná a trágyát hányni az a béres, akinek fogalma sincs a birtokos jelzőről, vagy micsoda kenyeret dagasztana az a menyecske, aki hírét se hallotta az állítmánykiegészítő alanyesetnek?”
Ferenc Móra, Ének a búzamezőkről

“But—as Matyas used to say—if one had no brains, no blacksmith could make one any.”
Ferenc Móra, Ének a búzamezőkről

Ferenc Móra, Ének a búzamezőkről
