Book: The matter tobacco

It was pointless to argue with her even if you think you've won, it turns out, actually you are misinformed. It's some kind of magic, completely inaccessible to men.

The most monstrous deeds in the world are committed by people who believe, really believe that they are doing a good thing, especially if it involved some kind of deity.

I'm sorry, sir, but I didn't go anywhere - and suddenly I would've seen something, sir? And if I've seen something, sir, perhaps I would have seen, sir, because, sir, most likely, the boat people who survived after other people's dead, sir, and perhaps they are responsible for their deaths, sir, I'd rather try not to get in their way, sir, you know?

The offender admits to avoid unnecessary problems, and sometimes it really fails, not free, and the price - death on the gallows if he's lying. You lied to the judge, lied to the king, lied to society and to the world, so energetic Mr. trooper will meet you on the scaffold, shake hands to show that nothing personally against you has not, and then click on the lever, and you will leave the world, who betrayed, and will hang without touching the ground.

If I manage to score, then get a job in the city, and mom will live in the home I don't have to lay awake all night, listening to the mice fighting the cockroaches...

He hated to think about other people as "civilians". In the end, who is the guard, if not a civilian in uniform and with a badge?

He had little experience with the literary world, he was rather colloquial, and sometimes even unprintable...

You think there's legal and illegal.... You are so worried about legal and illegal that you never thought about what is right or wrong.

Philosophy involves the possibility that you're wrong, but a real aristocrat, sir, knows that he is always right. It's not vanity, you see, is a congenital absolute confidence. Sometimes the aristocrats are mad as March hares, but they are completely and undoubtedly insane.

- You're a Duke, commander of the city watch and...
- The duty of the Board...
- Yes, Sam, and this is the greatest honor which could only honor you the king of the dwarves. Vimes, the Duty on the Board! The one who clears the written word. The man who destroys what was before. That's what you are, Sam. If you die, the government office of the whole world will tremble... and, unfortunately, Sam, they will not fear from death of a maid.

- We know that you are not going to the seaside, sir... But...
- And sorry, that is not at the seaside! ... There are the shipwreck. Smugglers. Drowned. Criminals and swarm! At least something interesting.

Let's face it - those whose life hangs in the balance, know perfectly well the terrible algebra of necessity, which knows no mercy.

I must admit that goblins live on the verge of death, mainly because they were pushed back. They survive, where will not survive, no one else. Their usual greeting - "hang" - it means "stay". I know, accuse them of terrible crimes, but the world was never kind to them.
