- 1872, Фёдор Достоевский [Fyodor Dostoevsky], “Часть 3. Глава 6. Многотрудная ночь. I”, in Бесы; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Demons, Vintage Classics, 1994:
- — А зна́ете ли, что вы мо́жете поплати́ться за э́то, господи́н Фурье́?
— Прошу́ вас заме́тить, что я не Фурье́. Сме́шивая меня́ с э́тою сла́дкою, отвлечённою мя́млей, вы то́лько дока́зываете, что ру́копись моя́ хотя́ и была́ в рука́х ва́ших, но соверше́нно вам неизве́стна.- — A znájete li, što vy móžete poplatítʹsja za éto, gospodín Furʹjé?
— Prošú vas zamétitʹ, što ja ne Furʹjé. Sméšivaja menjá s étoju sládkoju, otvlečónnoju mjámlej, vy tólʹko dokázyvajete, što rúkopisʹ mojá xotjá i bylá v rukáx vášix, no soveršénno vam neizvéstna. - "And do you know that you may have to pay for this, Mr. Fourier?"
"I beg you to note that I am not Fourier. By mixing me up with that sugary, abstract maunderer, you only prove that though my manuscript has been in your hands, it is completely unknown to you.<...>"
- — A znájete li, što vy móžete poplatítʹsja za éto, gospodín Furʹjé?
