“Nikolai,” he corrected. “But I’ve also been known to answer to ‘sweetheart’ or ‘handsome.’”
Mal whirled, but I silenced him with a pleading look.
“You need to stop that right now, Nikolai,” I said. “Or I’ll knock those princely teeth out myself.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

“Stirlings of old had been so damned besotted with their newfound earldom that they couldn't think to put any other name on anything...It was a wonder he didn't drink Kilmartin Tea and sit on a Kilmartin-style chair. In fact, he probably would be doing just that if his grandmother had found a way to manage it without actually taking the family into trade. ”
― Julia Quinn, When He Was Wicked

“Books require titles; reading them doesn't”
― Alan Moore, Lost Girls

“There are some promotions in life, which, independent of the more substantial rewards they offer, acquire peculiar value and dignity from the coats and waistcoats connected with them. A field-marshal has his uniform; a bishop his silk apron; a counsellor his silk gown; a beadle his cocked hat. Strip the bishop of his apron, or the beadle of his hat and lace; what are they? Men. Mere men. Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.”
― Charles Dickens, Oliver Twistder Ungekürzte Originaltext

“A boss says "you do it", a leader says "Let's do it".”

“Dav­el­lon may be a vil­lage, but the Dav­el­lon House can be any­thing you make it. No­bil­ity has to start some­where. It might as well start with you. Let no­body look down on you, for what­ever rea­son, My Lord. Ti­tles are granted or in­her­ited, no­bil­ity isn't.

~Tenaxos I to Landar Parmingh, Baron Davellon”

“Mr. Brundy," she said with a nod, making the most perfunctory of curtsies to her father's guest.
He made no move to take her hand, but merely bowed and responded in kind. "Lady 'elen."
"My name is Helen, Mr. Brundy," she said coldly.
"Very well- 'elen," said Mr. Brundy, surprised and gratified at being given permission, and on such short acquaintance, to dispense with the use of her courtesy title.”

Let not Wealth/ Salary/ Certificates/ Marks/ Grades become your Journey!”

“You can't possibly think you can date a member of the working class."
"Sachiko is marrying a commoner."
"Sachiko is marrying an heir to a rice empire related to the Takamoris. Ryu can support the life she is accustomed to. Takai, takai, takai." The three words are a well-known cliché, playing off the meanings. Good income, good school, and tall. Ideal characteristics for potential male love interests.”
― Emiko Jean, Tokyo Ever After

“Hm? These cherry tomatoes...
they've been dried. Right, Tadokoro?"
"Y-yes, sir! Back home, winter can be really long. In the summer we harvest a lot of vegetables and preserve them so we can have them in winter too. Mostly by sun drying them.
When I was little, I'd help with that part. That's when my Ma -um, I mean, my mother- taught me how to dry them in the oven.
You cut the cherry tomatoes in half, sprinkle them with rock salt and then slowly dry them at a low temperature, around 245* F.
I, um... thought they'd make a nice accent for the terrine..."
"Right. Tomatoes are rich in the amino acid glutamate essential in umami. Drying them concentrates the glutamate, greatly increasing the amount of sweetness the tongue senses.
In Shinomiya's case...
... his nine-vegetable terrine focused on fresh vegetables, with their bright and lively flavors.
But this recette accentuates the savory deliciousness of vegetables preserved over time. Both dishes are vegetable terrines...
... but one centers on the delicacy of the fresh...
... while the other on the savory goodness of the ripe and aged.
They are two completely different approaches to the same ingredient- vegetables!"
"Mmm! This is the flavor that warms the soul. You can feel my darling Megumi's kindness in every bite."
"For certain. If Shinomiya is the "Vegetable Magician"...
... I would say Megumi is... a modest spirit who gifts you with the bounty of nature.
a Vegetable Colobuckle!" *A tiny spirit from Ainu folklore said to live under butterbur leaves*
"No, that's not what she is! Megumi is a spirit who brings happiness and tastiness...
a Vegetable Warashi!" *Childlike spirits from Japanese folklore said to bring good fortune*
"Or perhaps she is that spirit which delivers the bounty of vegetables from the snowy north...
a Vegetable Yukinoko!" *Small snow sprites*
"It's not winter, so you can't call her a snow sprite!"
"How come all of you are picking spirits from Japanese folklore anyway?”
― Yuto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 4 [Shokugeki no Souma 4]

“Often, when tempted to peek into the drawer too early, Wendy could assuage her longing by pulling out the tiny notebook she always kept with her. It had a very slim blue pencil that perfectly fit down the spine, and was nearly full of her neat, enthusiastic words. Well-thumbed pages were titled with things like "Peter Pan and the Pirates and the Unexpected Zeppelin" or "Peter Pan and Tiger Lily versus the Cyclops of the Cerulean Sea." And she had illustrated "Captain Hook Is Taught A Timely Lesson by Peter Pan" with a little picture of a clock she had carefully copied from the mantel, as well as the eyes and nostrils of a fierce crocodile- the rest of whose body she had no hope of depicting accurately, and thus chose to submerge.”
― Liz Braswell, Straight On Till Morning

“Titles served their purpose in creating necessary boundaries, reminding people of their place in life. Once she hadn’t realized how vast the chasm was between the highborn and lowborn, but she’d spent the last few years learning better. It was a vast chasm indeed, uncrossable.”
― Mindee Arnett, Onyx and Ivory

“The flowers, too. I want to stop and collect some, but Evora says they’re just weeds. Still, I can’t bring myself to understand. What does it matter if they’re weeds? They’re pretty all the same. In fact, I’d call them special compared to flowers. Weeds are stronger. They dominate. They grow everywhere, and some are just as pretty as any flower, but people still toss them aside because of what they are. It’s the title that does it, I think.”
― Julia Elizabeth

“What will everyone call me then?'

'Hmm?'

'Is everyone just going to call me "Tamlin's wife"? Do I get a... title?'

'Do you want a title?'

'No. But I don't want people... I don't know if I can handle them calling me High Lady.'

'They won't. There is no such thing as a High Lady.'

'What do you mean, there's no such thing as a High Lady?'

'High Lords only take wives, consorts. There has never been a High Lady.'

'But Lucien's mother-'

'She's lady of the Autumn Court. Not High Lady. Just as you will be Lady of the Spring Court. They will address you as they address her. They will respect you as they respect her.'

'So Lucien's-'

'I don't want to hear another male's name on your lips right now.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“Along with the gradual disappearance of true and profound spirituality, these evil forces want to fill humanity with false illusions and egotism. Human beings under the control of Alien Parasites display attraction to superficial matters such as: titles, award ceremonies, rank, knowledge for knowledge sake and so on. Humanity must rise above the temptations of egoic titles, obsessive study and the pursuit of an endless amount of university degrees and certificates of study.”
― Laurence Galian, Alien Parasites: 40 Gnostic Truths to Defeat the Archon Invasion!

“Leadership is not about titles and self-entitlements. It is an agreement to serve those entitled to the service.”
― Gift Gugu Mona, The Effective Leadership Prototype for a Modern Day Leader

― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis

“In my experience, you mon-keigh make a great many claims when it comes to your own prowess, awarding yourselves title after title, your psyches awash with the hope that such posturing will intimidate your foes."

"Undeniably true, though that seems harsh criticism from a species that attaches poetic nonsense like" The Storm of Silence" and "The Cry of the Wind" to its demigods, no?”
― Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Black Legion

“You can just call me Vale,' he grumbled. 'I suppose that once someone has seen my bare ass, we can drop the titles.”
― Carissa Broadbent, Six Scorched Roses

“Vern stowed away the titles of books like morsels she might snack on later. She liked being reminded of the incomprehensibleness of the world. There was more to life than Cainland, more to earth than its collected sorrows. There was wonder and awe and the allure of nothingness. No one had figured everything out, but there were people who'd made their home in the searching. If they could dwell there, so could Vern.”
― Rivers Solomon, Sorrowland
