‘Look,’ said Rincewind, ‘a mysterious urn turns up and suddenly it’s all about football. That bodes. It means something bad is going to happen.’ ‘Come now, it could be something wonderful,’ Ridcully protested. Rincewind appeared to give this due consideration. ‘Could be wonderful, will be dreadful. Sorry, that’s how it goes.’

From the Neil Gaiman: Dream Dangerously 🥺❤ (you can watch it here in US or with US vpn :) <3) (or just this bit on youtube here :))

Neil Gaiman: I miss him most when I get stuck. You know, I'll just be working on something and I'll go, "Oh, this isn't quite it," and all I want to do is just call Terry, tell him what's going on and have him say, "Ah, grasshopper, the answer is there in the question." And I'd go, "Oh, for fuck's sake, Terry, just tell me."

"Er, don't you think that you're a bit too smart to be a guard, Preston?"

Preston shrugged. "Well, the lads all think that I am useless," he said cheerfully. "They think that there's got to be something wrong with someone who can pronounce the word 'marvelous.'"

"But, Preston...I know you are very clever and sufficiently erudite to know the meaning of the word 'erudite.' Why do you sometimes pretend to be stupid--you know, like 'doctrine' and 'happy ass corp ass'?"

Preston grinned. "I was unfortunately born clever, miss, and I've learned that sometimes it's not such a good idea to be all that clever. Saves trouble."

Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight

Me reading the City Watch Discworld books: Havelock Vetinari has never done anything wrong in his life, ever, and the next person to try to overthrow him had better bring a second

He wore black a lot. It wasn’t particularly impressive black, such as the best assassins wore, but the sober, slightly shabby black of a man who doesn’t want to waste time in the mornings wondering what to wear. And you had to get up very early in the morning to get the better of the Patrician; in fact, it was wiser not to go to bed at all.

-Guards! Guards!, Terry Pratchett

Big start of the year cliché but at this point I need any motivation I can get my hands on.

I tried to intimidate the New Year into behaving.
