Terry Pratchett
“What sort of person," said Salzella patiently, "sits down and writes a maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head. Opera can do that to a man.”
Terry Pratchett, Maskerade

Lynne Truss
“Those spineless types who talk about abolishing the apostrophe are missing the point.”
Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

M.F. Moonzajer
“I gave her a love letter and she returned it back to me by correcting spelling and punctuation.”
M.F. Moonzajer, A moment with God ; Poetry

Lynne Truss
“We may curse our bad luck that it's sounds like its; who's sounds like whose; they're sounds like their (and their); there's sounds like theirs; and you're sounds like your. But if we are grown-ups who have been through full-time education, we have no excuse for muddling them up.”
Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

George F. Will
“The almost-always-ghastly exclamation point has been lately compared to canned laughter.”
George will, One Man's America: The Pleasures and Provocations of Our Singular Nation
