[. . .] The ownership of humans is possible too; not in terms of actual slavery, which they are proud to have abolished, but in the sense that, according to which sex and class one belongs to, one may be partially owned by another or others by having to sell one’s labour or talents to somebody with the means to buy them. - Iain M. Banks, The Player of Games (1988)

The twenty thousand .sts of your hairy fathers thunder on you as a door. Open the way or be shattered. - Richard McKenna, ‘‘Mine Own Ways’’ (1960)
The gods gave people a sense of humour to make up for giving them sex. - Terry Pratchett, Pyramids (1989)
