"Compared to my naturally curly, dull hair, it's like the difference between the moon and a rat."
— Botan Kumegawa, Anne Happy, "Visiting Hanako"
Literature
"It is strange but instructive to contrast the Guild with the Assassins' Guild next door. One is a pleasant, airy building, whose corridors echo with the laughter of students and hum with quiet activity of people working hard in a job they love — the other is gaunt, forbidding and silent except for the occasional muffled sob. One leaves its gates open most of the time and its graduates are considered to brighten up any party — the other operates its wretched craft behind locked doors and its members are regarded with disdain by right-thinking people. One turns out people who, admittedly, must in the course of their duties, sometimes stab, poison or otherwise inhume their patients — but at least they never ask them to believe that pouring whitewash down someone's trousers is funny."
— The Discworld Companion, contrasting the Assassins' Guild with The Fools' Guild
"S'right, — said another. — "People think it's a fortune, but they don't reckon on, well, it's not pensionable, there's all the medical expenses, you've got to buy and maintain your own gear—
—wear and tear on virgins—" nodded a small fat hunter.
"Yeah, and then there's... what?"
"My speciality is unicorns," the hunter explained, with embarrassed smile.
"Oh, right." The first speaker looked like someone who'd always been dying to ask the question. "I thought they were very rare these days.'
"You're right there. You don't see many unicorns, either."

Niko: How's our girl tonight?
August: [Jane's] all right. Kinda sad. It's hard on her, being [cursed to be bound to a subway car].
Niko: I didn't mean Jane, I meant you.
August: Oh. I'm... I'm okay.

"A goblin mounted on a giant wolf is fast, believe me. We faced what must have been over a hundred of them. They came straight at us downhill, all teeth and fangs and foul breath, and the wolves were pretty horrible too, I can tell you!"
— Alphonse, Bretonnian Man-at-Arms, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Old World Bestiary — A Compendium of Creatures Fair and Foul

"You put this criminal menace, mad cynical mayor, the villain they credit with millions of deaths and pending, against the Penguin?!"
— The Penguin about Boris Johnson, Freshy Kanal
"Just because it's not as bad doesn't mean it's not stupid. It's like pitting Satan against some worms. Yeah, I don't like either, but when it comes down to it, one is truly f*cking despicable, and the other is just the Prince of Darkness."
— Scott The Woz, "Day One Editions"
Miscellaneous
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
