For comparison (staying within the category of fantasy, and either kidlit or not excessively adult to preclude adolescents) how about some quotes:

Lemony Snicket:

Discworld:

Can't you see how painfully stiff and prosaic those Rowling quotes (from, I would assume, submissions by actual fans) compared to the other two writers?
