Black text on a light grey background with swirly black borders. The text is a quote from Feet Of Clay and reads: "Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips."

Today's quote of the day is from Terry's nineteenth Discworld novel, Feet of Clay! What is your favourite quote or moment from the book?

A quote from Maskerade by Terry Pratchett, in black text on a pale grey background. The text reads: "Well, basically there are two sorts of opera,” said Nanny, who also had the true witch's ability to be confidently expert on the basis of no experience whatsoever. “There's your heavy opera, where basically people sing foreign and it goes like ‘Oh oh oh, I am dyin', oh I am dyin', oh oh oh, that's what I'm doin’’, and there's your light opera, where they sing in foreign and it basically goes ‘Beer! Beer! Beer! Beer! I like to drink lots of beer!’, although sometimes they drink champagne instead. That's basically all of opera, reely."

Six months to go until the curtain rises on the start of #DiscworldConvention! Is Nanny Ogg right about the types of opera? Which opera is your favourite?
