Barbara Sontheimer
“I want to propose a toast!" Taking a spoon he noisily tapped it against the crystal glass.  "Everyone!" He thundered, the large amount of whiskey he had consumed making him reckless.  "To Victor,  Ste. Genevieve's own inventor and my best friend, all the happiness in the world!"  The happy crowd shouted their approval.  "And to the ever, ever fair beauty Celena..." His voice cracking under the strain, and he wondered if he should stop now, before he embarrassed himself, before he made some horrible declaration.”
Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

Bill Watterson
“Leave it to a girl to take all the fun out of sex discrimination.”
Bill Watterson, The Essential Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury

“And Tarquin,’ Semilla said quietly. ‘He has been in league with them all along?’
‘Yes, I am afraid so,’ Rupert confirmed.”
A.R. Merrydew, The Girl with the Porcelain Lips

Esther Forbes
“And many of the townsfolk of Boston seem more concerned with the profit of their business than the great cause that is swirling around them.”
Esther Forbes, Johnny Tremain

Tom Wolfe
“The world was used to enormous egos in artists, actors, entertainers of all sorts, in politicians, sports figures, and even journalists, because they had such familiar and convenient ways to show them off. But that slim young man over there in uniform, with the enormous watch on his wrist and the withdrawn look on his face, that young officer who is so shy that he can’t even open his mouth unless the subject is flying— that young pilot— well, my friends, his ego is even bigger!— so big, it’s breathtaking!”
Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff
