“Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon—he’d run them all. Later, when he’d learned with some surprise what the word actually meant, he’d been equally certain he wasn’t one. He was a person who divided the world quite simply into people who were trying to kill him and people who weren’t. That didn’t leave much room for fine details like what color anyone was.”

Nanny Ogg looked under her bed in case there was a man there. Well, you never knew your luck.

@brainblasted Absolutely not related (or maybe a little) : I'd love to see a more recent #Discworld game adaptation … the universe deserve it and the author was much more decent 
“Murder was in fact a fairly uncommon event in Ankh-Morpork, but there were a lot of suicides. Walking in the night-time alleyways of The Shades was suicide. Asking for a short in a dwarf bar was suicide. Saying 'Got rocks in your head?' to a troll was suicide. You could commit suicide very easily, if you weren't careful.”
Terry Pratchett; Men at Arms

Many an ancient lord's last words had been, "You can't kill me because I've got magic aaargh."
Magic armour is not all it's cracked up to be.
Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times
“According to the history books, the decisive battle that ended the Ankh-Morpork Civil War was fought between two handfuls of bone-weary men in a swamp early one misty morning and, although one side claimed victory, ended with a practical score of Humans 0, ravens 1,000, which is the case with most battles.”

If a second hand bookshop has sci-fi and fantasy recommendations like this, as well as a Terry Pratchett timeline and categorisation, I’m going to be an instant fan. Just spent a lot of time browsing the very reasonably priced books in Arty Bees Books, Wellington, NZ.
Most gods find it hard to walk and think at the same time.
