P.G. Wodehouse
“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.”
P.G. Wodehouse, The Code of the Woosters

Patrick O'Brian
“Authority is a solvent of humanity: look at any husband, any father of a family, and note the absorption of the person by the persona, the individual by the role. Then multiply the family, and the authority, by some hundreds and see the effect upon a sea-captain, to say nothing of an absolute monarch. Surely man in general is born to be oppressed or solitary, if he is to be fully human; unless it so happens that he is immune to the poison.”
Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise

Mark Twain
“All right, then, I'll go to hell.”
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Patrick O'Brian
“Of course I do know it is the French who are so wicked; but there are all these people who keep coming and going - the Austrians, the Spaniards, the Russians. Pray, are the Russians good now? It would be very shocking - treason no doubt - to put the wrong people in my prayers.”
Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise

George Orwell
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
George Orwell, Animal Farm
