Derek Raymond
“I said to myself – wait for me in hell, I’ll come to you.”
Derek Raymond, The Devil's Home On Leave: Factory 2

John Lawton
“The official embassy flat was a classic example of the East German style of design and décor. Not designed to make you feel at home, but to make you feel there was no such place as home.”
John Lawton, Hammer to Fall

Philip Kerr
“On the whole it’s not wise to remind the devil that he’s the devil, especially when we were getting on so well.”
Philip Kerr, The Lady from Zagreb

Jaroslav Hašek
“Here, for the greater part, all logic was in abeyance and it was red tape which was victorious, it was red tape which throttled, it was red tape which caused lunacy, it was red tape which made a fuss, it was red tape which chuckled, it was red tape which threatened and never pardoned.”
Jaroslav Hašek, The Good Soldier Schweik
