Forfatter: Victor Hugo"It is three hundred forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago today that the citizens of Paris were awakened by the pealing of all the bells in the triple precincts of the City, the University, and the Town."
"The presence of this extraordinary being infused the cathedral with a certain breath of life. There seemed to escape from Quasimodo - at least so said the exaggerated superstitions of the crowd - a mysterious emanation which enlivened all the stones of Notre-Dame, and made the ancient church pulsate to its very entrails. When it was known that he was there, it was enough to make you think you saw life and motion in the thousand statues of the galleries and doorways. And indeed, the cathedral seem like a creature, docile and obedient in his hands. She waited upon his will to lift up her loud voice; she was possessed by him; she was filled with Quasimodo, as with some familiar spirit. You would have said that he made this immense structure breathe."
"Our readers must excuse us if we stop a moment to investigate the enigmatic words of the archdeacon: 'This will kill that. The book will kill the edifice'."
"She had overestimated her strength in braving these tortures. Poor child whose life till then had been so joyous, so pleasant, so sweet - the first experience of pain had vanquished her."


Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940). Han ble født i Kiev, som på den tiden var en del av Det russiske keiserdømmet. Han flyttet ikke til det som i dag er Russland før i 1919. Jeg er usikker på hvilken nasjonalitet foreldrene hadde. I 1921 flyttet han til Moskva og bodde der resten av livet. Er han russisk eller ukrainsk?
Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852). Også han ble født i det som i dag er Ukraina, og faren var ukrainsk. Området var på den tiden en del av Det russiske keiserdømmet. Han bosatte seg i St. Petersburg i 1828. Russiske redaktører så på Gogol som en ukrainsk, heller enn en russisk, forfatter. Han bodde i en rekke europeiske land, men dro til slutt tilbake til Russland. Er han russisk eller ukrainsk?
Forfatter: Kenneth Grahame"The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home."..."It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said 'Bother!' and 'O blow!' and also 'Hang spring-cleaning!' and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat."
The motor-car went Poop-poop-poop,
As it raced along the road.
Who was it steered it into a pond?
Ingenious Mr Toad!
