    “And therein were many knights and squires to behold, scaffolds and pavilions; for there upon the morn should be a great tournament: and the lord of the tower was in his castle and looked out at a window, and saw a damosel, a dwarf, and a knight armed at all points.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Just take the weapon you hold in your hand and drive it through his heart," Valentine's voice was soft. "One simple motion. Nothing you haven't done before."
    Jace met his father's stare with a level gaze. "I saw Agramon," he said. "It had your face."
    "You saw Agramon?" The Soul-Sword glittered as Valentine moved toward his son. "And you lived?"
    "I killed it."
    "You killed the Demon of Fear, but you won't kill a single vampire, not even at my order?"
    Jace stood watching Valentine without expression. "He's a vampire, that's true," he said. "But his name is Simon.”
    ― Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    A.S. Byatt
    “Ama en ön sırada hemen göze çarpan üç genç kız vardı ki başlarını kocaman gri örtülerle örtmüşlerdi. Ayrıca, kot pantolonlu gençler arasında birkaç tane de üniformalı genç subay görünüyordu. Laik Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nde bu tür başörtüler dinsel bir meydan okumanın, bağımsızlığın simgesiydiler. Liberal görüşlü Türk profesörler bunları sempatiyle karşılamak görüşündeydiler, ama Müslüman bir devlet söz konusu olduğunda, kendi inandıkları ve öğrettikleri şeylerin çoğu yakışıksız ve yasak sayılacaktı.”
    ― A.S. Byatt, The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye: Five Fairy Stories
