From: Equal Rites - Terry Pratchett
> ... although she was opposed to books on strict moral grounds, since she had heard that many of them were written by dead people and therefore it stood to reason reading them would be as bad as necromancy.

Fom Crab Monsters, Teenage Cavemen, and Candy Stripe Nurses - Chris Nashawaty
> JOHN SAYLES: “Roger [Corman] hired more female directors than anybody else. It wasn’t because he was a dyed-in-the-wool feminist. It was just if they had talent and they were cheap, let’s try ’em!”

A Hat Full of Sky - Terry Pratchett
> ‘Here is a story to believe,’ she said. ‘Once we were blobs in the sea, and then fishes, and then lizards and rats and then monkeys, and hundreds of things in between. This hand was once a fin, this hand once had claws! In my human mouth I have the pointy teeth of a wolf and the chisel teeth of a rabbit and the grinding teeth of a cow! Our blood is as salty as the sea we used to live in! When we’re frightened the hair on our skins stands up, just like it did when we had fur. We are history! Everything we’ve ever been on the way to becoming us, we still are. Would you like the rest of the story?’

The Last King of Osten Ard - #TadWilliams
> Likimeya and I did not talk very often, but when we did our conversations often began like this, with her explaining things to me as though I were witless. To be fair, she spoke this way to most of her elders.

J. R. R. Tolkien: Author of the Century - Tom Shippey
> As part of the ongoing and French-oriented snobbery of English society in Tolkien’s day (and later), municipal councils were (and still are) in the habit of indicating a street with no outlet as a ‘cul-de-sac’. This is French, of course, for ‘bag end’, though the French actually call such a thing an impasse, while the native English is ‘dead end’.
