“Bayle, when writing on "Comets," discovered this; for having collected many things applicable to his work, as they stood quoted in some modern writers, when he came to compare them with their originals, he was surprised to find that they were nothing for his purpose! the originals conveyed a quite contrary sense to that of the pretended quoters, who often, from innocent blundering, and sometimes from purposed deception, had falsified their quotations. This is an useful story for second-hand authorities!”

“Baz [Luhrmann] paid me one of the greatest compliments ever. I don't know him, really, but when I first met him I was congratulating him on ROMEO + JULIET - which I think is a wonderful adaptation - and he said, "Oh, well we couldn't have done it without your RICHARD III, which was an inspiration!" I've never quite checked up on the dates to see whether or if, in fact, we did our film before he did his.”

“Baz has stopped glaring at Penelope and started glaring at me. “What on earth are you drinking, Snow?” “A Unicorn Frappuccino.” He frowns. “Why’s it called that—does it taste like lavender?” “It tastes like strawberry Dip Dab,” I say. Penny’s grimacing at Baz. “For heaven’s snakes, Basil, I can’t believe you know what unicorns taste like.” “Shut up, Bunce, it was sustainably farmed.” “Unicorns can talk!” “They’re only capable of small talk; it’s not like eating a dolphin.” Baz takes my Frappuccino and sucks down a huge gulp. “Disgusting.” He hands it back to me. “Not like a unicorn at all.”

“Bazen bütün bu dünya gözüne çok tuhaf görünür, yaptığın şeyler sana tuhaf görünür, insanların davranışları, orada burada duyduğun konuşmalar, elbiseler, yollar, bitkiler, hayvanlar, yani kelimenin tam anlamıyla her şey çok tuhaf gelir sana! Ve sana daha tuhaf bir şey söyleyeyim, bu dünyaya dair hissetmen gereken duygu tam da budur, her şey gerçekten de çok tuhaftır! Her şey sana tuhaf göründüğünde kendini sakın deliymiş gibi hissetme, çünkü aslında her şey sana normal görünüyorsa gerçek delilik odur!”
