Толстой, Гиперболоид инженера Гарина) — 'And so you actually saw the machine at work, Shelga?' 'I saw it and now I know - guns, gas, aeroplanes, and all that are just toys for babies.'

    Видно было, что в его непокорной чёрной голове роятся такие планы, перед которыми потопление транспорта в двенадцать тысяч тонн - просто детская забава. (А. Фадеев, Ленинград в дни блокады) — It was plain that his unruly black head was teeming with plans which made the sinking of a 12,000-ton transport seem, by comparison, mere child's play.
