Mark Twain
“It all began with Adam. He was the first man to tell a joke--or a lie. How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before. Adam was not alone in the Garden of Eden, however, and does not deserve all the credit; much is due to Eve, the first woman, and Satan, the first consultant.
- Notebook, 1867”
Mark Twain

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Была чудная ночь, такая ночь, которая разве только и может быть тогда, когда мы молоды, любезный читатель.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Белые ночи
