“Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

—Terry Pratchett, Snuff

“But what other authors do with light allusions, Discworld does with a sledgehammer. And with light allusion too. Then it steals your wallet.”

—Brandon Sanderson, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld might be the Highest Form of Literature on the Planet

“1. All fungi are edible. 2. Some fungi are not edible more than once.”

The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All

Warren Mars

Terry Pratchett’s “The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All” (Martian Compilation) [x]

The spines on his back are too sharp for a man,
They’ll give you a pain in the worst place they can.
The result I think you’ll find will appall:
For the hedgehog can never be buggered at all.

“Cats are like witches. They don't fight to kill, but to win. There is a difference. There's no point in killing an opponent. That way, they won't know they've lost, and to be a real winner you have to have an opponent who is beaten and knows it. There's no triumph over a corpse, but a beaten opponent, who will remain beaten every day of the remainder of their sad and wretched life, is something to treasure.”

—“Witches Abroad”, A Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett
