Additional quotes by Anthony Burgess

Oğlum, oğlum. Oğlum olunca, yeterince büyüyünce ona bütün bunları açıklayacaktım. Ama sonra anlamayacağını veya hiç anlamak istemeyeceğini ve yapmış olduğum şeyleri yapacağını, evet hatta miyavlayan tekirlerle ve sarmanlarla çevrili zavallı bir moruk sazanı öldüreceğini ve ona cidden engel olamayacağımı anladım. O da kendi oğluna engel olamayacaktı kardeşlerim. Dünyanın sonuna kadar filan da böyle gidecekti, durmadan durmadan durmadan, kocaman dev gibi bir herif filan gibi, belki dev ellerinde leş kokulu pis bir portakalı döndürüp döndürüp duran bizim Tanrı'nın kendisi gibi (Korova Sütbarı sağ olsun.)
