Feet of Clay, by Terry Pratchett
Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything.
It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people.
It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.

%passage 2
It was hard enough to kill a vampire. You could stake them down and turn them into dust and ten years later someone drops a drop of blood in the wrong place and guess who's back?
They returned more times than raw broccoli.

%passage 1
Hogfather, by Terry Pratchett
Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree.
But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things.
They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words.

%passage 1
Jingo, by Terry Pratchett
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us.
If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?
After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them.
No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us.
It's Them that do the bad things.

You did something because it had always been done,
and the explanation was "but we've always done it this way."

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those

The world is made up of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
