“There is nothing finer in the world than the telling of tales. Split atoms if you wish, but splitting an infinitive—and getting away with it—is far nobler. Lance boils if you wish, but pricking pretensions is often cleaner and always more fun.”

““You split hairs.”
“Better to split hairs than the heads beneath them.””

“This is a bawdy tale. Herein you will find gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity, as well as non-traditional grammar, split infinitives, and the odd wank.”

“This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish.”

“Personally, I like to defiantly split my infinitives.”

“I'll tell you now that's the mother-fucker whose head I split open.”

“And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before--and thus was the Empire forged.”

“If you wish for something hard enough, the fairy tales teach us, you can get it in the end. But it's hardly ever the way you thought it would be, and the endings aren't always happy ones.”

“The use of the word "just" by an Australian means that whatever it is you have to do, it will not be easy, as in "Just pull that sword out of the stone" or "Just split that atom."”

“I wish I wasn't … There's nothing good that comes out of that. You get more visibility as a result of it.”
