You can't just boss bacteria around like that, said the younger Mrs. Hempstock. They don't like it. Stuff and silliness, said the old lady. You leave wigglers alone and they'll be carrying on like anything. Show them who's boss and they can't do enough for you. You've tasted my cheese.

You see, the outcome of the battle is unimportant. What matters is the chaos, and the slaughter.

Most people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?

Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.

The real problem with stories - if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.
