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?

This is disturbing news. Oliver Sacks may have fabricated or embellished some of his case histories?

Besides, while it was true that a lot of people came to Ankh-Morpork because it was a city of opportunity, sometimes it was the opportunity not to be hung, skewered or dismantled for whatever crimes

2/2 Acknowledge that your hero’s flawed just like we all are. AND aspects of them are worthy of admiration. Just don’t be dazzled by it. Get real and let them BE real. You’ll be less disappointed in life when you accept that your idols have #FeetofClay. #CelticDragonTarot @llewellynbooks.bsky.social

He wanted one drink, and understood precisely why he wasn’t going to have one. One drink ended up arriving in a dozen glasses.

MR. HOPKINSON, ARE YOU FULLY AWARE THAT YOU ARE DEAD? “Dead?” trilled the curator. “Oh, no. I can’t possibly be dead. Not at the moment. It’s simply not convenient. I haven’t even catalogued the combat muffins.” NEVERTHELESS. “No, no. I’m sorry, but it just won’t do. You will have to wait. I really cannot be bothered with that sort of nonsense.” Death was nonplussed. Most people were, after the initial confusion, somewhat relieved when they died. A subconscious weight had been removed. The other cosmic shoe had dropped. The worst had happened and they could, metaphorically, get on with their lives. Few people treated it as a simple annoyance that might go away if you complained enough. Mr. Hopkinson’s hand went through a tabletop. “Oh.” YOU SEE? “This is most uncalled-for. Couldn’t you have arranged a less awkward time?” ONLY BY CONSULTATION WITH YOUR MURDERER.

“Commander, I always used to consider that you had a definite anti-authoritarian streak in you.” “Sir?” “It seems that you have managed to retain this even though you are Authority.” “Sir?” “That’s practically Zen.” “Sir?” “It seems I’ve only got to be unwell for a few days and you manage to upset everyone of any importance in this city.” “Sir.” “Was that a ‘yes, sir’ or a ‘no, sir’, Sir Samuel?” “It was just a ‘sir’, sir.”

“You all right, sir?” said Carrot. “I know you’ve been overdoing it a bit these last few day—” “I’ve been underdoing it!” said Vimes. “I’ve been running around looking for damn Clues instead of just thinking for five minutes! What is it I’m always telling you?” “Er…er…Never trust anybody, sir?” “No, not that.” “Er…er…Everyone’s guilty of something, sir?” “Not that, either.” “Er…er…Just because someone’s a member of an ethnic minority doesn’t mean they’re not a nasty small-minded little jerk, sir?” “N—When did I say that?” “Last week, sir. After we’d had that visit from the Campaign for Equal Heights, sir.”

Yes, read about this yesterday. #FeetOfClay
“Around him, the world became a crystal of horror, the special horror that has nothing to do with fangs or ichor or ghosts but has everything to do with the familiar becoming unfamiliar.”

Angua threw up her hands. “I’m trying to be civilized,” she said. ’I could confiscate you right now. The charge would be Being Obstructive When It’s Been a Long Day and I’ve Had Enough."

#quote #Discworld #TerryPratchett #FeetofClay #Death
“Men said things like "peace in our time" or "an empire that will last a thousand years," and less than half a lifetime later no one even remembered who they were, let alone what they had said or where the mob had buried their ashes.”

Igneous was huge and…well, rocky. He moved around the streets of Ankh-Morpork like a small iceberg and, like an iceberg, there was more to him that immediately met the eye. He was known as a supplier of things. More or less any kind of things. And he was also a wall, which was the same as a fence only a lot harder and tougher to beat. Igneous never asked unnecessary questions, because he couldn’t think of any.
