Abu al-'Ala' al-Ma'arri
I don't read poetry for pleasure. I read to be terrified in a way. And people who terrify me from their size and the grandeur of their imagination now are people like Pasternak and Neruda, a lot of Latin-American poets, Lowell - very few English poets - Ted Hughes a little...very few English poets now in fact (1968)

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!

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

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