Cool Pen-Related Quotes

[writingrav]

I'm not sure if anyone has started a thread like this before or where else to put it, but I came across a fabulous pen related line in a novel I'm reading and I had to share.
From: The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty b Sabastian Barry. The sentence:
"He prays to his God that he might be rescued or, like those decrepit pens they used to find on their desks at the start of each school year, be given a fresh nib."

Any others?
