“Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He’d been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me.”
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo

“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.”
― Hermann Hesse

“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“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.”
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo
