“Sprawa stara jak Gall Anonim. Od zawsze wiadomo, że jeśli jakiś cudzoziemiec poruszy sprawę polską - uprości on ją, zwulgaryzuje i wypaczy. My, Polacy, nie jesteśmy przez świat rozumiani. Świat nas nie pojmuje, jest wobec naszych problemów bezradny, abstrahuje od naszej specyfiki. Świat nas nie rozumie tak dalece i tak wielorako, że nie rozumie nas i wtedy, kiedy mu mówimy, że nas rozumie. Świat myśli na przykład, że kiedy my mu mówimy, że on nas nie rozumie, znaczy to, że tylko i wyłącznie my sami samych siebie rozumiemy. A przecież my sami samych siebie też nie rozumiemy. I tu właśnie pogrzebany jest pies polskiego hermetyzmu. Ponieważ Polacy porażeni są tajemniczością swego kraju, mają nie opracowaną podstawową problematykę i nie wyjaśnione dzieje, są na permanentnym głodzie definitywnych rozstrzygnięć, jasnych rozwiązań i pełnych odpowiedzi. Na obcych spoglądają z nadzieją, przy czym jest to nadzieja boleśnie od stuleci zawodzona, niezwykle bowiem trudno zainteresowanym Polską cudzoziemcom sprostać naszemu maksymalizmowi. Ledwo jakiś nie-Polak zaciekawi się, dajmy na to, zawiłością naszych dziejów, natychmiast nasi na niego z mordą, że ma on nie zaciekawiać się zawiłością, ale ją rozwikływać, czego i tak nie potrafi, bo przecież nie-Polak.”

“Spraying to kill trees and and raspberry bushes after a clear-cut merely looks unaesthetic for a short time, but tree plantations are deliberate ecodeath. Yet, tree planting is often pictorially advertised on television and in national magazines by focusing on cupped caring hands around a seedling. But forests do not need this godlike interference... Planting tree plantations is permanent deforestation... The extensive planting of just one exotic species removes thousands of native species.”

“Spread over what must have been at least a hectare or two was the most beautiful garden he had ever seen. There was an entire miniature forest of cedar, cypress, and other sweet-smelling pines that couldn't normally live in the hot and dry Agrabah. There were formal rows of roses and other delicately petaled flowers. There was a garden just of mountain plants. There was a pool filled with flowering white lilies and their pads, and pink lotuses taller than most men. There was a fountain as big as a house and shaped like an egg. There was a delicate white aviary that looked like a giant's birdcage. Strangely, there were no birds in it. And everywhere, entwined around every tiny building and every balustrade and every topiary ball, was jasmine. White jasmine, pink jasmine, yellow jasmine, night-flowering jasmine... the smell was heady enough to make Aladdin feel a little drunk. Jasmine. This was her garden.”

“Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.”

“Spread the glad tidings that it will not disappoint Miss Heyer's many admirers. Judging from the letters I've received from obviously feeble-minded persons who do so wish I would write another These Old Shades, it ought to sell like hot cakes. I think myself I ought to be shot for writing such nonsense, but it's questionably good escapist literature and I think I should rather like it if I were sitting in an air-raid shelter, or recovering from flu. Its period detail is good; my husband says it's witty---and without going to these lengths, I will say that it is very good fun.”
