Michael G. Kramer
“Fritz Kramer said, “I cannot see why my treatment of my Chinese workers as equals should cause any German, American or British person any concern.”
Michael G. Kramer, His Forefathers and Mick

Jostein Gaarder
“مع كل يوم يمر ، ومع كل نشاط صغير نقوم به سوف تتضاعف حظوظك في أن تذكرني”
Jostein Gaarder, The Orange Girl

“Christ, I feel like a naughty schoolboy again,” said Alec as they walked into King’s Bench Walk. “We have just had a dressing-down by the headmaster. Strider could easily be a man handy with a cane.”
“That man Strider is a crook,” said Bing-Wallace. “His utterances are like the product of a performance of Joseph Pujol … Le Pétomane!”
“Who is Joseph Pujol?”
“He is a well-known French flatulist performer.”
“What?” Alec stopped dead,
“A fartist, dear boy, a performer of farts.” Bing-Wallace began to giggle, as did Alec.”
Hugo Woolley, The Wasp Trap

Ellen Raskin
“Friday was back to normal, if the actions of suspicious would-be heirs competing for a two-hundred-million-dollar prize could be considered normal.”
Ellen Raskin, The Westing Game

Sara Pascoe
“Raya knew this type of girl – they never liked her. Usually they’d make fun of her, behind her back, but loud enough for her to hear. She was too alternative, too poor and too cynical – the foster kid – to be of any interest to these social climbers.”
Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For
