Excerpt from page 263 of Guards! Guards! "Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly so that the others will be in no doubt that i disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and almost be heard..."

Goddamn i knew from second hand sources Terry Pratchett had game but i didnt realize he had this much fire. My first book of his, #GuardsGuards has banger after antifascist banger

I am re-reading the entire #DISCWORLD series. Only this time I am clean as a whistle and mostly sober. I can recall only bits and pieces. Hence the re-read. Am currently on #GuardsGuards. My introduction book to #DISCOWORLD at the looney bin over 20 years ago now.

If a Ramkin had ever been given to introspection she’d have admitted that it wasn’t a very original line. But it was handy. It did the job. The reason that cliches become cliches is that they are the hammers and screwdrivers in the toolbox of communication.

Time could bifurcate, like a pair of trousers. You could end up in the wrong leg, living a life that was actually happening in the other leg, talking to people who weren’t in your leg, walking into walls that weren’t there anymore. Life could be horrible in the wrong trouser of Time.

Our Terry Pratchett quote of this particular day, because "out there are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any inequity. (...) They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no."

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

#discworld #menatarms #terrypratchett #guardsguards #samvimes I thought Guards Guards saw Vimes in an upward arc; hated how he was written in Men at Arms. Carrot was fleshed out, but Sam started drinking & was resigned to being a useless rich guy. He came alive at the end thanks to Carrot’s actions

Sure, Lord Vetinari had said he preferred to his assistant alive and under arrest but the Patrician says a lot of things that aren't true.

Wonse simply was too dangerous to live. He knew the magical pathways to *more* dragons. That could not be.

Lady Ramkin read to me like a big badger, ignore Errol missing wings, he doesn't really need them by the end of the book.

Finished Guards! Guards! by Sir Terry Pratchett and I've fallen in love with the entire Night Watch. Almost choked trying to hold in my laughter while reading it on a plane.

Lady Ramkin and Errol!

"A book has been taken. A book has been taken? You summoned the Watch," Carrot drew himself up proudly, "because someone's taken a book? You think that's worse than murder?" The Librarian gave him the kind of look other people would reserve for people who said things like, "What's so bad about genocide?" --from Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett
