He did of course sometimes have people horribly tortured to death, but this was considered to be perfectly acceptable behaviour for a civic ruler and generally approved of by the overhelming majority of citizens. [footnote: The overhelming majority of citizens being defined in this case as everyone not currently hanging upside down over a scorpion pit]

The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.

Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake off.

Always be aware of any helpful item that weighs less than it's operating manual.

Tourist, Rincewind decided, meant "idiot".

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks.

You stay here. I'll whistle if it's safe to follow me.
What will you do if it isn't safe?
