Zbigniew Herbert
Thus I am in Holland, the kingdom of things, great principality of objects. In Dutch, schoen means beautiful and at the same time clean, as if neatness was raised to the dignity of a virtue.
Zbigniew Herbert, Still Life with a Bridle

Victoria Schwab
Divest yourself of weapons, or I will do it for you
V.E. Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic
