As for the historical inspirations I drew on in writing The Snow Queen, I suppose I would call them more cross-cultural inspirations, though they frequently involve past societies as well as present day ones.

Burning Inspiration
I have a lot of inspirations
That keep me going.
I guess you can say my inspirations are my family and a few teachers.
But there's one inspiration that stands out above all,
And that is the one I love.
She's the only one I want to impress.
She's my everything.
Above all she's the one that matters most.
To compare her to anything would be a sin.
I love her with all my heart and soul.
I love EVERYTHING about her.
She's my spark of fire.
My burning inspiration.
The light in my darkness.
She's my irreplacible everything.

It is one thing to get educated and another thing to keep educated.
Witty’s fight against the wind
It has been spoken that Witty, a boy from the village
it has been waggish, he has grieved everybody, it has seemed,
and everybody has envied him.
birds have only pecked from his palm
because they have become inured to him.
A slow wind has breathed over the village
and Witty has been amazed from it,
when the wind intensifies, the wind has blown out his hat.
he has followed vainly his hat with the look
but the hat has disappeared entirely.
The wind has blown then with force
to take houses and palings
and to destroy almost everything.
All the people have run cowardly
Witty has only coped with the wind because he has been a care-crow.

Pull my strings, Oh Muse!
PULL MY STRINGS
Pull my strings oh Muse,
And my smart fingers will
Dance to your melodic tunes
Of sturdy emotional 'skills'
And appalling witty cores
Table me a choice, Oh muse
Either road I choose,
Still pull my strings
For my audience are starving;
Their tongues of praise is parched
Buy my thoughts Oh Muse
Not with a meager penny
But with inspirations so many
many than the birds that board the sky
Let’s drench their burnt tongue
And fill their empty bowel
With stacks of poetic manna;
Oceans of rhythmical wines
Lest they doubt my finesse
And I curse your worthiness!

There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.

I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.

No, sir, I'm not saying that charming, witty and warm copy won't sell. I'm just saying I've seen thousands of charming, witty campaigns that didn't sell.

There are many witty men whose brains can't fill their bellies.
The joke is the weapon of the witty; being serious is the shield of the stupid.
A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.

The uneducated person perceives only the individual phenomenon, the partly educated person the rule, and the educated person the exception.

Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from a beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs those family shares
Will protect him

We are not to give credit to the many, who say that none ought to be educated but the free; but rather to the philosophers, who say that the well-educated alone are free.
If you educate a woman, you have educated a population.
