TitleAuthorQuote

Sylvie and Bruno

Carroll, Lewis

Bruno took a good handful of mane in each hand, and made believe to guide this new kind of steed.

So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish

Douglas Adams

The figure was completely unrecognizable as the wild-looking creature who had burst crazily into the cottage a little over an hour ago. Gone was the ragged threadbare dressing gown, smeared with the mud of a hundred worlds, stained with junk food condiment from a hundred grimy spaceports, gone was the tangled mane of hair, gone the long and knotted beard, flourishing ecosystem and all. Instead, there was Arthur Dent the smooth and casual, in corduroys and a chunky sweater.

Les Miserables

Hugo, Victor

The barricade scaled was like a mane of flashes.
