    Und Siddhartha: "Sechzig Jahre ist er alt geworden und hat Nirwana nicht erreicht. Er wird siebzig werden und achtzig, und du und ich, wir werden ebenso alt werden und werden uns üben, und werden fasten und werden meditieren. Aber Nirwana werden wir nicht erreichen, er nicht und wir nicht."

    This hunt was of course known by various names in the different countries of Northern Europe; but as the tales told about it are all alike, they evidently originated in the same old heathen belief, and to this day ignorant people of the North fancy that the baying of a hound on a stormy night is an infallible presage of death.

    "Gleichwohl sprach er ein flüssiges Griechisch, ohne bei jedem Wort feine Tröpfchen zu spucken, wie es die Fremden gewöhnlich taten, und Niketas hatte ihn erst vor kurzem mit den Invasoren in ihrer rauhen Sprache reden hören, die er schnell und trocken sprach, wie einer, der sie auch zum Schimpfen und Beleidigen zu gebrauchen weiß."
    -Umberto Eco, Baudolino

    And an English one:

    "He makes the most zesty yet subtle macaroni and cheese I've ever had."
    - Yann Martel, Life of Pi
