"When the least they could do to you was everything, then the most they could do to you suddenly held no terror." - From, Small Gods.

"A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores." - From, The Fifth Elephant.

The perfect book for die-hard Pratchett fans and newcomers alike, a collection of the wittiest, pithiest and wisest quotations from the Discworld universe, organised into categories including the principal Discworld characters (Granny Weatherwax, Lord Vetinari), places (Unseen University, Ankh-Morpork, the City Watch) or even the occasional concept (magic).
