“Den lange j?rnbanereise har rystet sammen alle de forskjellige dele i vore hoder, det danser mange l?se ting omkring derinde, vi kj?rer endnu; selv har jeg desuten et lite till?g av mathet, av ubehag, feber. Det der m? nok kureres med en bitte liten dram, sier jeg. Og s? ser jeg min leilighet til ? h?lde kognak i et ?lglass.”
― Knut Hamsun

“Jeg kommer ned i min kuffert efter kognak og h?lder i et ?lglas, jeg speider omkring mig, og da jeg finder mig alene r?nder jeg i f?ret flere gode slurker. Jeg str?ver l?nge med dette da dyret er gjenstridig, men da jeg tilslut f?r fat i dets tunge sv?lger det godt. Tungen var bl?.”

“What was the point of spelling out the details? And anyway, wasn’t a poor soul allowed to have a little genuine lovesickness to cope with on top of everything else? Without further ado, Rolandsen went up to his office, straight to the instrument, and asked one of the operators at the Rosengaard telegraph station to send him half a cask of cognac at the first opportunity. There was no sense in carrying on like this forever.”
― Knut Hamsun, Dreamers

“Well, God be with you,’ she said as she finally left him.
’I’m sure He is,’ he replied.
She gave a start. ’Are you certain of that?’
’He has every reason to be. Obviously He’s Lord over all Creation, but it can’t be anything special to be god of animals and mountains. It’s really us human beings that make Him what He is. So why shouldn’t He be with us?’
Having delivered this impressive speech, Rolandsen looked rather pleased with himself. The curate’s wife would be puzzling over him as she walked home. Ha-ha, it was not so surprising that the little dome resting on his shoulders should have made such a great invention after all!
But now the cognac had arrived.”
― Knut Hamsun

“Jeg henvender mig til disken og sp?r efter kognak. Manden ved disken forst?r mig og s?tter ned en flaske. Den har et mig ubekjent m?rke, og det st?r Odessa p? den. Tvi! sier jeg; har han ikke andet? Det forst?r han ikke. Jeg langer selv op i hylden og finder mig en anden kognakflaske. Den viser sig ? v?re av samme Odessam?rke, men har fem stj?rner. Jeg ser p? den og anskuer den og finder den simpel. Om han ikke har bedre? Det forst?r han ikke. Jeg t?ller stj?rner for ham, at det er fem, og f?ier til et par selv med blyant. Det forst?r han. Han kommer virkelig med en seksstj?rnet Odessaflaske. Hvad koster den? Fire og en halv rubel. Og den foreg?ende? Tre og en halv. Det er en rubel pr.stj?rne. Men jeg tok allikevel den med fem stj?rner, og det viste sig ? v?re en lynende st?rk kognak som jeg fik sove av. Og idag er jeg trods alle kloke koners og alle turisters visdom bedre av feberen skj?nt jeg drak kognak inat.”

“This is based on Sauce Américaine. A classic French sauce, its recipe calls for crushed lobster shells and meat crushed together.
And then there's its rich, woody fragrance. I know what it's from now! COGNAC!" *Cognac is a variety of brandy made in Cognac, France. There are many strict requirements the brandy must meet in order to be considered an official cognac.*
"I see! When brandy is aged, it absorbs the scents of the wooden casks in which it's stored! That's why this curry has such a strong bouquet of woody aromas... like sandalwood and cedar!"
"Yup! That's right, sir. By the way, for this dish I experimented a little...
... and used Napoleon-Grade Cognac, which has even richer scents.
There are several grades of cognac, depending on how long it is aged. Napoleon Grade is considered the highest.”
― Yuto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 7 [Shokugeki no Souma 7]

“—Ejima m, ?qué ocurre? —volvió a preguntar.
—En realidad, nada. Nada que sea nuevo —contestó Olanna, con la mirada fija en la botella de co?ac sobre la mesa—. Quiero que esta guerra acabe para que él pueda volver. Se ha convertido en otra persona.
—Todos estamos en esta guerra, y nos toca a nosotros decidir si nos convertimos o no en otra persona —dijo Kainene.”

“The only two things in life
guaranteed to bring joy
are both liquid:
fresh dark coffee in the morning
or fragrant cognac in the evening.
(In between, you're on your own.)”

“She took the cognac and disappeared into her corner of a kitchen. 'Make yourself comfortable,' she shouted out to me. 'Take off your shoes. Take off your socks. Look at my books—I often wonder what I'd do if there wren't any books in the world.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
