Mad Love by Andre Breton and Kirsty Brooks
The homing pigeons: Through her cousin, with whom I had in the past been sharing some thoughts, she had, she confided, heard of me for the first time; it was he who had given her the wish to know my books, which, in their turn, had made her want to know me.—60
Helping kisses: Assimilated as they are to the homing pigeons, they take account, in the least figurative way, of the necessity I feel of making a gesture which, however, I refuse myself, a necessity in no way strange to the rallying points in the street I had mentioned.—60-61
The kisses, here, are no less situated in possibility by being placed between the homing pigeons (the idea of an agreeable person) and the breasts about which, in the course of the tale, I was lead to say that they took away any dangerous impulse toward renunciation.—61

Children of the Lens by E. E. "Doc" Smith
Now, knowing nothing and caring less of where she and her vessel might be or might go, physically completely relaxed, she drove her "sensories" out to the full limit of their prodigious range and held them there for hour after hour.—87

Diaspora: A Novel by Greg Egan
Although there'd be time to confer with Earth before any more ships reached their destinations, he'd decided prior to the cloning not to allow the unfolding of his manifold future to be swayed by any change of heart.—215
Paolo saw them: long bundles of cross-linked chains running the whole two-hundred-micron thickness of the carpet, each with a roughly square cross-section, bonded at several thousand points to the four neighboring units.—236

We by Eugene Zamiatin
There is a dramatic running duel between the rational and irrational forces within him, a shifting between his conscious and unconscious powers of perception, and a constant association of ideas that forms elaborate networks.—
