Mindennl tbbre becslte az szinte, nyltsziv, szenvedlyes termszetet. Az rzelmek ereje, a lelkeseds mindenkor rabul ejtette szvt. Sokkal inkbb meg tudott bzni olyanokban, akik nha elhamarkodva vagy felletesen nyilatkoznak, mint abban, akit sohasem hagy cserben az elvigyzatossga, sohasem botlik meg a nyelve.
Jane Austen
What do Americans know about morality? They don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the Nicaraguan rebel forces after Congress has restricted such aid; they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive Congress- lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!
John Irving
The waves broke and spread their waters swiftly over the shore. One after another they massed themselves and fell; the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall. The waves were steeped deep-blue save for a pattern of diamond-pointed light on their backs which rippled as the backs of great horses ripple with muscles as they move. The waves fell; withdrew and fell again, like the thud of a great beast stamping.
Virginia Woolf
