He gasped as Vimes shot him a glance like sunlight. 'That's what people say when the voiceless speak.'

"People like Nanny Ogg turn up everywhere. It's as if there's some special morphic generator dedicated to the production of old women who like a laugh and aren't avesre to the odd pint, especially of some drink normally sold in very small glasses. You find them all over the place, often in pairs.*
*Always in front of you in any queue, for a start."

"There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal, kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.
Vorbis loved knowing that. A man who knew that, knew everything he needed to know about people."

"Desert lions, it has been said, are not like the lions if the veldt. They have been, when the great desert had been verdant woodland.* Then there had been time to lie around for most of the day, looking majestic, in between regular meals of goat.†
* ie, before the inhabitants had let goats graze everywhere. Nothing makes a desert like a goat.
†But not enough."
