Béatrix Beck
“You have made a good confession," went on the priest without any evident irony. "Now you must ask to be forgiven."
"Ask who?"
"X," he answered, gaily.”
Béatrix Beck, The passionate heart;

Alasdair Gray
“I’m over five and half feet tall and weigh about ten stone. My eyes are brown, hair black, and I forget the blood group. I used to be older than twenty but now I’m older than thirty. I’ve been called a crustacean, and too serious, but recently I was described by a dependable man as shrewd, obstinate and adequately intelligent. I was a writer once and now I’m a doctor, but I was advised to become these, I never wanted it. I’ve never wanted anything long. Except freedom.” There was a metallic rattle of laughter. Lanark said, “Yes, it’s a comic word. We’re all forced to define it in ways that make no sense to other people. But for me freedom is …” He thought for a while. “… life in a city near the sea or near the mountains where the sun shines for an average of half the day.”
Alasdair Gray, Lanark: A Life in Four Books

Abhijit Naskar
“Boys be Men! Lift your brain above your belt.”
Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

Refaat Alareer
“a free Palestine where all people regardless of color, religion, or race coexist;”
Refaat Alareer, Gaza Writes Back: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine

Alasdair Gray
“Are there no British natives?"
"In Wales, Ireland and Scotland perhaps. In England we still have a class of farmers, farm servants, estate workers et cetera, but the landowners and city dwellers regard them as useful animals, like horses and dogs.”
Alasdair Gray, Poor Things
