“It's like learning to ride a unicorn. You never forget.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“Always the innocent are the first victims, so it has been for ages past, so it is now.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“Never," said Hagrid irritably, "try an' get a straight answer out of a centaur. Ruddy stargazers. Not interested in anythin' closer'n the moon.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“Tyson dropped the two warriors he was about to tie into a knot and jogged after us. He jumped on the centaur's back.
'Dude!' the centaur groaned, almost buckling under Tyson's weight. 'Do the words "low-carb diet" mean anything to you?”
― Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters

“I don鈥檛 believe him,鈥� said Hermione in a very unsteady voice, the moment they were out of earshot of Hagrid. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 believe him. I really don鈥檛 believe him. . . .鈥�
鈥淐alm down,鈥� said Harry.
鈥淐alm down!鈥� she said feverishly. 鈥淎 giant! A giant in the forest! And we鈥檙e supposed to give him English lessons! Always assuming, of course, we can get past the herd of murderous centaurs on the way in and out! I 鈥� don鈥檛 鈥� believe 鈥� him!”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“Orion sniffed. "Good. Then, Worthy Centaur, perhaps you could give me a ride to the village on your back. Then I can make a few pennies with my verses while you build us a shack and perform circus tricks for passersby." This was such a surprising statement that Foaly briefly considered jumping into the hole to get away. "This isn't Middle Earth, you know. We're not in a novel. I am not noble, neither do I have a repertoire of circus tricks." Orion seemed disappointed. "Can you juggle at least?”
― Eoin Colfer

“(...) ClanFintan's gaze captured mine once more.
"I said nothing because I hoped that you would trust me enough to confide in me." His voice had finally regained its emotion, and I was upset to hear the sadness that filled his words.
"I do trust you! It's just that there didn't seem to be a right time. And then, well, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to chance loosing your love."
My voice had become a whisper.
(...) So, I stood there trying to blink away the tears that were threatening to spill from my eyes. ClanFintan sighed heavily and closed the space between us before I could start bawling. He touched my face and cupped my chin in the warmth of his hand.
"My love is something you will never lose." He bent and kissed me softly, then smiled at my undoubtedly goofy expression.
"My patience, perhaps, but never my love.”

“Meg gawked. 鈥淗e鈥攈e really is a centaur.鈥�
鈥淲ell spotted,鈥� I said. 鈥淚 suppose the lower body of a horse is what gave him away?鈥�
She punched me in the arm.”
― Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

“The dog sniffed at the bonfire like a ship with a wet nose docking at a foreign port." -Mgru”
― Stephen Moles

“Tag, you know 鈥榟alf-and-half鈥� is a pejorative use of an ableist term,鈥� Jett chastises. 鈥淏oth the minotaur contingent and the centaur contingent find it highly offensive 鈥�”
― Matt Wallace, Pride's Spell

“There was talk of the Centaur being moved into the elephant cages to make room for a banjo-picking Minotaur. Surrendering his meager furnishings to a musical half man half bull was all bull.”
― Don Roff, Heebie-Jeebies: Volume One

“It must have been after more than five minutes of this concentrated examination of the phenomenal shape which this strange growth on the horse's neck was gradually assuming, that the door-keeper suddenly leapt to his feet and began shouting: "Bundy! Bundy! Bundy! come quick! Here's a horse that's going to have two heads! For God's sake come quick, Bundy, and look! It's going to have a man's head as well as its own! Quick! Quick! Bundy! come quick!”
― John Cowper Powys, The brazen head

“Stop talking to me,鈥� he ordered as he walked away. 鈥淎nd stop staring at my ass.鈥�
鈥淛ust wondering how it looks with four legs.鈥�
He stopped. Faced her. 鈥淲hat?鈥�
鈥淵ou know,鈥� she admitted, 鈥渢hat sounded less . . . strange, in my head.鈥�
鈥淒id it? Really?”
― G.A. Aiken, The Blacksmith Queen

“Inhaling sharply, his grip on my door tightens. His deep yet hushed voice sounds pained as he says, 鈥淣essa, do not make me reject you.鈥�
鈥淎engus, do not make me beg.”
― Naomi Kelly, Kalon: A Centaur Tail
