    • 2007, Leif Enger, Peace Like a River:
      “Sure.” “Do you think Dad prayed for that to happen?” “I don't know. He didn't shut his eyes that I noticed.” “Well, you can't shut your eyes while you're driving.” Her lecturesome tone was annoying. Before today, what miracles had she ever seen?

      There is no one as conceited, as lecturesome, as selfish, as mad about the theater as you. Nor is any man so talkative.
