Kate Morton
“Elodie just wasn't a very grand, glossy person, and she was terrible with change. "Little wonder" - this was the psychologist she'd seen for a time when she first went up to Oxford. "You lost your mother. It's one of the most significant and frightening changes that a child can experience." Such loss, Elodie was reliably informed by Dr. Judith Davies ("Call me Jude") after three months of weekly sessions in the warm front room of her Edwardian house, couldn't help but embed itself within a person's psyche.

"You mean it's going to affect my every life decision?" Elodie had asked.

"I do."

"Forever?"

"Most likely."

She had stopped seeing Dr. Davies ("It's Jude") soon after that. There hadn't seemed much point.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter

Andy Weir
“I can't wait till I have grandchildren. When I was younger, I had to walk to the rim of a crater. Uphill! In an EVA suit! On Mars, ya little shit! Ya hear me? Mars!”
Andy Weir, The Martian

P.G. Wodehouse
“We run to height a bit in our family, and there's about five-foot-nine of Aunt Agatha, topped off with a beaky nose, an eagle eye, and a lot of grey hair, and the general effect is pretty formidable. Anyway, it never even occurred to me for a moment to give her the miss-in-baulk on this occasion. If she said I must go to Roville, it was all over except buying the tickets.”
P.G. Wodehouse

Terry Pratchett
“My mum's uncle was a sailor," said Nobby. "But after the big plague he got press-ganged. Bunch of farmers got him drunk, and he woke up next morning tied to a plough.”
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
“Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He’d been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me.”
Terry Pratchett, Jingo
