Several artists from the 17th century onwards have provided woodcuts for the whole run of La Fontaine's fables, most of which go little beyond illustrating the bird standing beside the water. The most original was J.J.Grandville's transposition of the characters into contemporary terms. The heron is on the left, gazing askance at the fish which impertinently peep at him from the shallows. To the right, the old maid of La Fontaine's parallel fable hangs on the arm of a bloated individual.

In 1848, he gave an impassioned speech to the House of Representatives against the proposed emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia. Gott described the actions of abolitionists of the northern states as "impertinent interference with the slaves" and "impertinently intruding themselves into the domestic and delicate concerns of the South, understanding neither the malady to be corrected nor the remedy to be applied". He moved to Syracuse, New York, in 1853 and resumed the practice of his profession. He died in Syracuse, New York, July 6, 1864.

The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently. The term jaywalking was coined in 1915 to label persons crossing a busy street carelessly and becoming a traffic hazard. The term began to imply recklessness or impertinent behavior as the convention became established. In January 2014, Canadian author Robert Joseph Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists in Europe and North America to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups.

The patriotic Pazzi recalls an unfortunate episode when the Prince Leopold, Count of Syracuse (brother of the King of Naples) visited the studio accompanied by the interior minister of the Grand Duke, Leopold II. The visiting Prince inquired why Dante was surrounded by beasts. Pazzi indicated the lions were the Marzocchi, long a symbol of Medici Florence. However, when asked why the eagle did not have a double head, the symbol of the Habsburg dynasty, Pazzi impertinently replied that this was a Roman Eagle, arising from the ashes of the fallen Roman Empire. With this, the retinue left.

As Bewick was also a friend of John Peacock, it is very likely that Cant and Peacock knew each other well. When Cant died on 15 July 1821, Bewick wrote the following substantial obituary: > Died, Mr. William Cant, master of The Blue Bell, Head of the Side, aged 70, > formerly piper to the Northumberland Militia. He was an excellent performer > on the violin and Northumberland pipes; and like his great predecessors upon > the latter instrument, Turnbull, Gilley, old Lamshaw and John Peacock, he > kept up the ancient tunes, with all their charming lilts and pauses, > unspoiled by the modern improvers of the music with their 'idiot notes > impertinently long'. He played 'his native woodnotes wild', such as pleased > the ears of the yeomanry of old at Otterburn, Hedgeley Moor and Flodden > Field, and 'Whene'er his instrument did silence break, You'd thought the > instrument would speak'.

He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues on knighthood, already considered old-fashioned at the time. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. The book had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word quixotic and the epithet Lothario; the latter refers to a character in "El curioso impertinente" ("The Impertinently Curious Man"), an intercalated story that appears in Part One, chapters 33–35. The 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written.
