“No? How about now? Am I going backwards?'

For once the bird was perfectly still and steady.

'No,' said Random.

'Well I was in fact, I was moving backwards in time. Hmmm. Well I think we've sorted all that out now. If you'd like to know, I can tell you that in your universe you move freely in three dimensions that you call space. You move in a straight line in a fourth, which you call time, and stay rooted to one place in a fifth, which is the first fundamental of probability. After that it gets a bit complicated, and there's all sorts of stuff going on in dimensions 13 to 22 that you really wouldn't want to know about. All you really need to know for the moment is that the universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking it's pretty damn complicated in the first place. I can easily not say words like «damn» if it offends you.'

'Say what you damn well like.'

'I will.'

'What the hell are you?' demanded Random.

'I am The Guide. In your universe I am your Guide. In fact I inhabit what is technically known as the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash which means . . . well, let me show you.”
Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

Patricia Briggs
“You have a real gift for getting into trouble, don’t you? That was one thing I forgot when you left the pack.” “How is any of this my fault?” I asked hotly. He sighed. “I don’t know. Does it matter whose fault it is once you’re sitting in the middle of the frying pan?” He gave me a despairing look. “And as my father used to point out, you find your way into that frying pan way too often for it to be purely accidental.”
Patricia Briggs, Iron Kissed

“Ipsa scientia potestas est"
Knowledge itself is power
(written in a ponderous cursive hand on the inside cover of every single noteboook by
Barnaby Atkins Esq. M.A. Oxen.
County Practioner, Hereford)”
Ben Aaronovitch, Foxglove Summer

Anne McCaffrey
“The AI told her not long ago that her "Why?" period might have been the shortest on record - because Mum and Dad answered every "Why?" in detail AND made sure she understood, so she wouldn't ask that particular "Why?" again.
After a month "Why?" wasn't fun anymore, and she went on to other things.”
Anne McCaffrey, The Ship Who Searched

Terry Pratchett
“Actually, we'd have once chance" .... Even if it's a million to one chance, ma'am."

"That's all very well," said Nanny, "but what you're saying is, for every Mr Ridcully that survives tonight's work, 999,999 are going to get killed?"

"Yes, but I'm not bothered about those other buggers." said Ridcully "They can look after themselves. Serve 'em right for not inviting me to their weddings.”
Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
