“Lord Vetinari, as supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, could in theory summon the Archchancellor of Unseen University to his presence and, indeed, have him executed if he failed to obey.

“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows.

― E.M. Forster, A Room with a View
