Alexander Pope, The Rape of the Lock

Nora Ephron

“Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.”
Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

J.K. Rowling

"When they say every flavor, they mean every flavor - you know, you get all the ordinary ones like chocolate and peppermint and marmalade, but then you can get spinach and liver and tripe.

Ron picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully, and bit into a corner.
"Bleaaargh - see? Sprouts.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
