Ach, people are always telling us not to do things said Rob Anybody, that's how we ken the most interesting things to do.
Terry Pratchett
Image
The most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendents not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships, or being patronised by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it.

The hippo of recollection stirred in the muddy waters of the mind.

A bad hunter chases. A good hunter waits.

Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often students, for heaven's sake.

What is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you're hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.

I don't regret it, you know. I would do it all again. Children are our hope for the future. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, said Death. What does it contain, then? ME.

What is magic? There is the wizard's explanation... wizards talk about candles, circles, planets, stars, bananas, chants, runes and the importance of having at least four good meals every day.

The enemy isn’t men, or women, it’s bloody stupid people and no-one has the right to be stupid.
Terry Pratchett
Image
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Terry Pratchett
Image
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.

It’s quite easy to accidentally overhear people talking downstairs if you hold an upturned glass to the floorboards and accidentally put your ear to it.
Terry Pratchett

He talks pretty big for a gutter wizard, he muttered. You don't understand at all, said the wizard wearily. I'm so scared of you my spine has turned to jelly, it's just that I'm suffering from an overdose of terror right now. I mean, when I've got over that then I'll have time to be decently frightened of you.

There are thousands of good reasons why magic doesn't rule the world. They're called Witches and Wizards.

This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.

Young man, the games we play are lessons we learn. The assumptions we make, things we ignore, and things we change make us what we become.

Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.
