    Terry Pratchett
    “Oh, that's just Thud! That's easy!" yapped a voice.

    Both men turned to look at Horsefry, who had been made perky by sheer relief.

    "I used to play it when I was a kid," he burbled. It's boring. The dwarfs always win!"

    Gilt and Vetinari shared a look. It said: While I loathe you and every aspect of your personal philosophy to a depth unplummable by any line, I'll credit you at least with not being Crispin Horsefry.”
    Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

    James Baldwin
    “I don't like people who like me because I'm a Negro; neither do I like people who find in the same accident grounds for contempt. I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. I think all theories are suspect, that the finest principles may have to be modified, or may even be pulverized by the demands of life, and that one must find, therefore, one's own moral center and move through the world hoping that this center will guide one aright. I consider that I have many responsibilities, but none greater than this: to last, as Hemingway says, and get my work done.
    I want to be an honest man and a good writer.”
    James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son
