[pratchettquotes]

"But since you raise the subject, Moist, what were you doing with your life before the citizens of Ankh-Morpork greeted you with open palms?"

"Surviving," said Moist. "In Uberwald the old empire was breaking up. It was not unusual for a government to change twice over lunch. I worked at anything I could to make a living. By the way, I think you meant 'arms' back there."

"And when you got here you impressed the gods so much that they led you to a treasure trove so that you could rebuild our post office."

"I'm very humble about that," said Moist, trying to look it.

It's that time again! Another Discworld book finished. This time, it was "The Fifth Elegant".

I must admit, it was a different Guard book, that's for sure, and not only because it takes place outside of Ankh-Morpork, but because it seems to have a way different pace and setting. The Überwald underlying politics of the struggle for power between Werewolves and the Dwarves, with the Vampires watching over.

But it also speaks greatly of another thing. Breaking the tradition, be it one way or another. Take for instance Cheery. She broke dwarven tradition, by simply being herself, and we have on the opposite side of the coin Wolfgang, who also in its way broke the Tradition, while adhering to "it".

It's a struggle between the past and the future being caught up in the present's garden, and, of course, Vimes was caught in the middle of it all. Angua's conflict with her own family, for example.

I have to admit, I cried with Gavin's result, with Gaspode's words, and the howl he gave.

Dee, as well, broke my heart. To be able to commit what one thinks is a high treason because of Tradition, because some have the freedom or bravery that one hasn't... It's heartbreaking. To feel bottled up to the point in which one does t know what to do.

And in the end, Cheery is merely happy with knowing she can be herself if she so chooses.

Wolves only look for the future.

And now, off to read Night's Watch.

'Things are different here, sir,' said Carrot. 'It wasn't until ten years ago that they replaced trial by ordeal with trial by lawyer, and that was only because they found that lawyers were nastier.'

"Mister Lipwig, the world lives between those who say it cannot be done and those who say that it can. And in my experience, those who say that it can be done are usually telling the truth. It's just a matter of thinking creatively. Some people say 'Think the unthinkable,' but that's nonsense--although in your case, sir, I think you have the nerves for it. Now, don't let me detain you."
