"The proofreader at Ace was asleep on the job when this came out. Inconsistent punctuation, spelling that flips for no reason between US and UK usage, and words that are just outright misspellings. I can forgive the made-up contractions and dialect speech because that at least has a purpose even if it is too much like {author:Joel Chandler Harris|7320] But the rest I wish they had had a more attentive proofreader." — Jul 16, 2023 03:14PM

“Every page should explode, either because of its staggering absurdity, the enthusiasm of its principles, or its typography.”

“An cinniúnt, is dócha: féach an féileacán úd thall atá ag foluain os cionn mo choinnle. Ní fada go loiscfear a sciatháin mhaiseacha: cá bhfios dúinne nach bhfuil a fhios sin aige, freisin?”

“Mo Sheanmháthair
Ar ais arís lá breá Lúnasa
Canach geosadáin ar foluain
Ar chuile leoithne ghaoithe
Do theach ina sceatraigh
Na cróite ina snaois,
Airím arís ceol na mblianta dearmadta,
Drumadóireacht an bhanna práis
Ag máirseáil síos an bóthar,
Tusa led' sciortaí ardaithe
Ag damhsa ar an screabán
Do sheachtar óg
Náire shaolta fút
Ina bhfál ceilte os do chomhair
Le nach bhfeicfeadh na comharsain
Meidhréis do dhamhsa.”

“Seanabhean is ea mise anois go bhfuil cos léi insan uaigh is an chos eile ar a bruach. Is mó bogradh is cruatan curtha agam díom ón gcéad lá do saolaíodh me go dtí an lá atá inniu ann. Dá mbeadh ’fhios agam go mbeadh a leath, ná a thrian, i ndán dom ní bheadh mo chroí ná m’intinn chomh haerach ná chomh misníúil is do bhí i dtosach mo shaoil.”

“Damn everything but the circus! ...damn everything that is grim, dull, motionless, unrisking, inward turning, damn everything that won't get into the circle, that won't enjoy. That won't throw it's heart into the tension, surprise, fear and delight of the circus, the round world, the full existence...”
