George MacDonald Fraser
“So he died, calling me 'son of a swine' in Hindi, which is the Muslim's crowning insult. I saw his point of view, of course.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman

“Yoshinaka, however, paid no heed to this warning, and so Iemitsu decided to kill himself in protest.”
Hiroshi Kitagawa, The Tale of the Heike

“Although great men are not always skilled in the art of fortunetelling, it seems that those in ancient times were much more accurate than those in recent days.”
Hiroshi Kitagawa, The Tale of the Heike. Volume I, Books 1-6

“You shall keep this technique secret and not show it to anyone, for one should not scatter roses before swine.”
Hans Lecküchner, Kunst und Zettel im Messer: A Facsimile of the Cgm 582

“Now the Priest-Premier's daughter, Kenreimon-In. Who was at the time only the second consort of the emperor, became seriously ill. There was great lamentation at court and throughout the country. The chanting of sutras was begun at many temples, and the Board of Divination sent envoys to install new gohei in all the shrines. Physicians prepared their best medicines. Fortunetellers performed divinations, taxing their art to its utmost. Priests observed both the great and secret laws, leaving nothing undone. But hers was not an ordinary illness, and soon she was found to be with child.”
Hiroshi Kitagawa, The Tale of the Heike. Volume I, Books 1-6
