    • 1913, Robert Barr, chapter 4, in Lord Stranleigh Abroad‎[1]:
      “… No rogue e’er felt the halter draw, with a good opinion of the law, and perhaps my own detestation of the law arises from my having frequently broken it. If this long diatribe bores you, just say so, and I’ll cut it short.”
    • 1991, Bill Crow, Jazz Anecdotes‎[2], Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 316:
      You know, it’s all this racial diatribe, and very strong language, screaming at the top of his lungs into the telephone.
    • 2000, J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Scholastic Press, →ISBN, page 41:
      Aunt Petunia wasn’t eating anything at all. Her arms were folded, her lips were pursed, and she seemed to be chewing her tongue, as though biting back the furious diatribe she longed to throw at Harry.
    • 2021 May 5, Philip Haigh, “I think we need better than this from the rail industry”, in RAIL, number 930, page 51:
      Lest this [be] read as a diatribe against DfT, I have some sympathy with it. That's because whenever there's a problem with the railway, the industry's solution is to ask DfT for billions of pounds.
