  • Harriet Beecher Stowe: "I’s wicked I is. I’s mighty wicked; anyhow I can’t help it."--Uncle Tom's Cabin[2]
  • Mark Twain: "Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain't that a big enough majority in any town?"[3]
  • Clare Boothe Luce: "But much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney." Mr. Wallace's warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world."[4]
