Additional quotes by Anthony Burgess

Oh, it was gorgeosity and yumyumyum. When it came to the Scherzo I could viddy myself very clear running and running on like very light and mysterious nogas, carving the whole litso of the creeching world with my cut-throat britva. And there was the slow movement and the lovely last singing movement still to come. I was cured all right.

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.)
