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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a fact well known even to Corporal Nobbs. It's also wrong.

There's a fifth element, and generally it's called Surprise.
