    • 1872, Фёдор Достоевский, “Часть 1. Глава 3. Чужие грехи”, in Бесы; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Demons, 1994:
      Несмотря на полную выдержку и совершенное знание хороших манер, он до того, говорят, самолюбив, до такой истерики, что никак не может скрыть своей авторской раздражительности даже и в тех кругах общества, где мало интересуются литературой.
      Nesmotrja na polnuju vyderžku i soveršennoje znanije xorošix maner, on do tovo, govorjat, samoljubiv, do takoj isteriki, što nikak ne možet skrytʹ svojej avtorskoj razdražitelʹnosti daže i v tex krugax obščestva, gde malo interesujutsja literaturoj.
      In spite of his complete selfpossession and perfect knowledge of good manners, he was said to be so vain, to the point of such hysterics, that he was simply unable to conceal his authorial petulance, even in those social circles where there was little interest in literature.
