“Scarlet, when aware that she was consciously asking her friend for advice and support, felt guilty, for she had come to believe that advice and support were commodities for which you paid professionals, rather as you paid prostitutes for love and bought your vegetables instead of growing them yourself.”

“The thin end of the sensible clothes wedge had been inserted in society by the disgraceful Mrs Bloomer a decade and a half before the year of which I write; but that early attempt at the trouser suit had been comprehensively defeated by the crinoline--a small fact of considerable significance in our understanding of the Victorians. They were offered sense; and chose a six-foot folly unparalleled in the most folly-ridden of minor arts.”

“Quelquefois je m'approchais pour observer ces boîtes qui se fendaient comme des huîtres et je découvrais la nudité de leurs organes intérieurs, des feuilles blêmes et moisies, légèrement boursouflées, couvertes de veinules noires, qui buvaient l'encre et sentaient le champignon.”

“My own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, any place, any time. And anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my ass.”

“Je ne crois pas que les animaux sauvages puissent être heureux ou même joyeux quand ils sont adultes. C'est la vie avec les hommes qui a dû faire naître cette faculté chez les chiens. J'aimerais savoir pourquoi nous agissons sur eux comme une drogue. C'est peut-être le chien qui est responsable de la folie de grandeur de l'homme. Même à moi, il m'est arrivé de penser que je devais avoir quelque chose de particulier, quand je voyais Lynx défaillir de joie en me regardant. Mais je n'avais rien d'exceptionnel, bien sûr ; Lynx était tout simplement fou des hommes comme tous les chiens.”
