Peter Høeg
“There's a look of mischief in his eyes. 'Smilla. Why is it that such an elegant and petite girl like you has such a rough voice.'
I'm sorry,' I say, 'if I give you the impression that it is only my mouth that's rough. I do my best to be rough all over.”
Peter Høeg, Smilla's Sense of Snow

Toni Morrison
“I wish I’d a knowed more people. I would of loved ‘em all. If I’d a knowed more, I would a loved more”
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

George Eliot
“There was a peculiar fascination for Dorothea in this division of property intended for herself, and always regarded by her as excessive. She was blind, you see, to many things obvious to others - likely to tread in the wrong places, as Celia had warned her; yet her blindness to whatever did not lie in her own pure purpose carried her safely by the side of precipices where vision would have been perilous with fear.”
George Eliot

Jonathan Stroud
“Watch where you leave your victims! I stubbed my toe on that.”
Jonathan Stroud, The Amulet of Samarkand

Terry Pratchett
“He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination - but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips. If it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato.”
Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
