“It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country," he read. "This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.”

“Oh, my dear Vimes, history changes all the time. It is constantly being re-examined and re-evaluated, otherwise how would we be able to keep historians occupied? We can't possibly allow people with their sort of minds to walk around with time on their hands.”

“I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else.”

“A venecijanska laguna bi mi, i pored moje velike ljubavi prema Veneciji, ostala strani, čudan i neshvatljiv kuriozitet da nisam, umoran od glupog gledanja jednog istog, na osam dana i noći uzeo čamac, hleb i krevet kod jednog ribara iz Torčela. Veslao sam duž ostrva, gacao mrežom po mrkim, muljevitim sprudovima, upoznao biljke i životinje lagune, disao i posmatrao njen jedinsveni vazduh, i od tada mi je ona prisna i prijateljska. Tih osam dana sam verovatno mogao da potrošim na Ticijana i Veronezea, ali u onom ribarskom čamcu sa trouglastim zlatnomrkim jedrom naučio sam da bolje razumem Ticijana i Veronezea, nego u Akademiji i duždevoj palati. I ne samo nekoliko slika, već i čitava Venecija nije za mene više samo lepa zagonetka koje se plašim, već je postala mnogo lepša stvarnost koja mi pripada i na koju, zato što je razumem, imam pravo.”
