    Todor Bombov
    “This book was under arrest, along with its author. This event occurred on March 27, 1986. During that time, the totalitarian system in East Europe was called socialism and even by the scientific nonsense and absurd names of Communism and Communist system.

Since this “socialist” system was afraid of the weapon of criticism, it applied criticism of the weapon against its own citizens, as Marx would have said.”

    Patrick Süskind
    “Я имею все гарантии…
    Знаете — это иногда меня так пугает, я… я… я иногда боюсь выйти из дому, настолько я всем гарантирован. Когда у меня есть свободное время — а у меня много свободного времени, — я предпочитаю оставаться дома, из страха, как сейчас, как бы это вам объяснить?

    “Relax, Mr. Diggums. Have another nettle beer, or some spring water." The commander took two bottles from the cooler and offered one to Mulch.
    Mulch studied the label. "Derrier? No thanks. You know how they put the bubbles in this stuff?"
    Vinyaya's mouth twitched with the ghost of a smile. "I thought it was naturally carbonated."
    "Yeah, that's what I thought until I got a prison job at the Derrier plant. They employ every dwarf in the Deeps. They made us sign confidentiality contracts."
    Vinyaya was hooked. "So go on, tell me. How do they get the bubbles in?"
    Mulch tapped his nose. "Can't say. Breach of contract. All I can say is it involves a huge vat of water and several dwarfs using our ...eh" Mulch pointed to his rear end-"... natural talents."
    Vinyaya gingerly replaced her bottle.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Lost Colony
