Evelyn Waugh
“I have a good mind not to take Aloysius to Venice. I don't want him to meet a lot of horrid Italian bears and pick up bad habits.”
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Max Nowaz
“Ah! You speak Levitan,” the man smiled. “But you’re not from Levita I think.” Like
most Levitians he was a good looking man, if perhaps a bit effete for Brown’s tastes. 
“No, I lived there for a while.” 
“Did you enjoy your stay?”
“Up to a point. The Levitian women are very beautiful.”
“Yes of course. So are the men in Levita,” the man smiled. “We used to have a
cleansing programme to ensure a healthy population.”
“You mean a culling policy, where you killed all the weakest members of the
population.”
Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

Anna Sewell
“If a thing is right it can be done, and if it is wrong it can be done without; and a good man will find a way.”
Anna Sewell, Black Beauty

Iain Banks
“I think the easiest people to fool are ourselves. Fooling ourselves may even be a necessary precondition for fooling others.”
Iain Banks, The Bridge
