Jean-Paul Sartre
“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.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, The Words: The Autobiography of Jean-Paul Sartre

Erri De Luca
“Je lis des vieux livres parce que les pages tournées de nombreuses fois et marquées par les doigts ont plus de poids pour les yeux, parce que chaque exemplaire d'un livre peut appartenir à plusieurs vies. Les livres devraient rester sans surveillance dans les endroits publics pour se déplacer avec les passants qui les apporteraient un moment avec eux, puis ils devraient mourir comme eux, usés par les malheurs, contaminés, noyés en tombant d'un pont avec les suicidés, fourrés dans un poêle l'hiver, déchirés par les enfants pour en faire des petits bateaux, bref ils devraient mourir n'importe comment sauf d'ennui et de propriété privée, condamnés à vie à l’étagère. (p.22)”
Erri De Luca, Tre cavalli

John Fowles
“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.”
John Fowles, The French Lieutenant’s Woman

Christopher Hitchens
“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.”
Christopher Hitchens

Victor Hugo
“Maintenant faites déclarer par sept millions cinq cent mille voix que 2 et 2 font 5, que la ligne droite est le chemin le plus long, que le tout est moins grand que la partie ; faites-le déclarer par huit millions, par dix millions, par cent millions de voix, vous n’aurez point avancé d’un pas. Eh bien, ceci va vous surprendre, il y a des axiomes en probité, en honnêteté, en justice, comme il y a des axiomes en géométrie, et la vérité morale n’est pas plus à la merci d’un vote que la vérité algébrique.”
Victor Hugo, Napoleon The Little
