T.H. White
“This knight's trouble from his childhood--which he never completely grew out of--was that for him God was a real person. He was not an abstraction who punished you if you were wicked or rewarded you if you were good, but a real person like Guenever, or like Arthur, or like anybody else. Of course he felt that God was better than Guenever or Arthur, but the point was that he was personal. Lancelot had a definite idea of what he looked like, and how he felt--and he was somehow in love with this Person.”
T.H. White, The Ill-Made Knight

Irène Némirovsky
“Non ho paura della vita" pensò. "Sono stati solo anni di apprendistato. Terribilmente duri, è vero, ma mi hanno temprata, hanno rafforzato il mio coraggio e il mio orgoglio. E questo mi appartiene, è la mia ricchezza inalienabile. Sono sola, ma la mia solitudine è aspra e inebriante".”
Irène Némirovsky, The Wine of Solitude

Anthony Burgess
“There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.”
Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

Yvonne Korshak
“Temples are for the gods,” Thucydides said. “No city has the hubris to put her own citizens on a temple.” Phidias promised, “The Athenians will look like gods.”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece
