Someone out there was about to find that their worst nightmare was a maddened Librarian. With a badge.

There is always time for another last minute
Terry Pratchett

At such times the universe gets a little closer to us. They are strange times, times of beginnings and endings. Dangerous and powerful. And we feel it even if we don't know what it is. These times are not necessarily good, and not necessarily bad. In fact, what they are depends on what *we* are.

Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.

Guilt was the grease in which the wheels of the authority turned.

Don't be smart. Smart is only a polished version of dumb. Try intelligence. It will surely see you through.
Terry Pratchett
Image
The only thing more dangerous then a vampire crazed with blood lust was a vampire crazed with anything else. All the meticulous single-mindedness that went into finding young women who slept with their bedroom window open got channeled into some other interest, with merciless and painstaking efficiency.

Multiple exclamation marks, he went on, shaking his head, are a sure sign of a diseased mind.
Terry Pratchett
Image
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Just call in at the torturer on your way out. See when he can fit you in.
Terry Pratchett
Image
There were no lies here. All fancies fled away. That's what happened in all deserts. It was just you, and what you believed.

No one remembers the singer. The song remains.
Terry Pratchett
Image
The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind you honking.
Terry Pratchett
Image
The phrase may you live in interesting times is the lowest in a trilogy of Chinese curses that continue may you come to the attention of those in authority and finish with may the gods give you everything you ask for. I have no idea about its authenticity.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Ah, said Mr Pin. Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens. He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'.

I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say it was god's will when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.
