“I want to eat chocolates in a great big room where the world is a different place.”
Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

'People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.”'
Discworld QOTD, from The Color of Magic

"If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!'"

Terry Pratchett’s “Monstrous Regiment” was such a remarkably sweet and affirming book about gender nonconformity - and REALLY ahead of its time for 2003.

“That's the trouble about the good guys and the bad guys! They’re all guys!”
Discworld QOTD, from Raising Steam

"The stars change, people change, and all we can do is assist the future with care and thoughtful determination to see the world at peace, even if it means ushering some of its worst threats to an early grave."
Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

“Stopping a battle is much harder than starting it. Starting it only requires you to shout ‘Attack!’ but when you want to stop it, everyone is busy.”
Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time

'Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today!"'
Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic

“Unseen University had never admitted women, muttering something about problems with the plumbing, but the real reason was an unspoken dread that if women were allowed to mess around with magic they would probably be embarrassingly good at it…”

Monstrous Regiment is a fantastic book about gender

it is also, according to every vet I've ever talked about it with, a fantastic book about being a soldier

“The children refused to disbelieve in the monsters because, frankly, they knew damn well the things were there. But she’d found that they could, very firmly, also believe in the poker.”
Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic

"‘If you kill me a thousand will take my place,’ said the man, who was now backed against the wall.

‘Yes,’ said Cohen, in a reasonable tone of voice, ‘but that isn’t the point is it? The point is, you’ll be dead.’"
