Però non si ammazzano le donne. Le tieni prigioniere, ma non le ammazzi. Sono sempre belle, e ricche, e spaventatissime. Ti prendi i loro orologini e gli altri ciondoli, ma devi sempre toglierti il cappello e parlare
in modo educato. Non c’è gente più bene educata dei banditi... puoi leggerlo in qualsiasi libro. Be’, insomma, le donne finiscono per innamorarsi di te e, dopo che sono state nella grotta per una settimana o due, la smettono di frignare, e in seguito non riusciresti più a convincerle ad andarsene. Se le scacciassi, si volterebbero, a un certo punto, e tornerebbero indietro. Succede così in tutti i libri.

Mark Twain

Occasionally, merely for the pleasure of being cruel, we put unoffending Frenchmen on the rack with questions framed in the incomprehensible jargon of their native language, and while they writhed, we impaled them, we peppered them, we scarified them, with their own vile verbs and participles.

A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
