Unforgettably horrible is the naked body. It really does not have the slightest charm.
Murasaki Shikibu
I'm just a red nigger who love the sea,
I had a sound colonial education,
I have Dutch, nigger, and English in me,
and either I'm nobody, or I'm a nation.
Tishani Doshi
I am great admirer of China. It has shown great discipline and dedication in attacking n export markets. China is working furiously on its English-language capability and its quality control. As China become stronger, it sends a clear signal that we in India have to harder to stay ahead.
Narayana Murthy

It seems such a shame
When the English claim
The Earth,
That they give rise
To such hilarity
And mirth.
Noël Coward

I think we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong. The songs are echolocation up in impregnable fog. That's why it's odd to see a pile of imperfections and flaws ascend a pedestal to patronize the rest of the cogs.
Aesop Rock
The English language is nobody's special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.
Tishani Doshi
I find it insufferable too the way people spread word about the latest novelties and make a fuss over them. I am charmed by the man who remains unaware of such fashions until they have become quite an old story to everyone else.

?Just heard Paul Scholes has retired, best I’ve ever played against by a mile. Most technically gifted player in english history. Legend” [http://www.sportskeeda.com/2011/05/31/paul-scholes-top-quotes-on-a-top-player/]
Socrates (Brazilian footballer)
In a jungle town
Where the sun beats down
To the rage of man and beast,
The English garb
Of the English sahib
Merely gets a bit more creased.
In Bangkok
At twelve'o'clock
They foam at the mouth and run,
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.
Noël Coward

All the rest of the world uses the word "electricity." They've borrowed the word from English. But we Chinese have our own word for it!
