Daily Moist von Lipwig:
“They watch me, you know,” Owlswick volunteered. “All the time.”
Ah. This was slightly better than suicide by paint, but only just.
“Er…you mean in jail?” said Moist, just to make sure.
“They watch me everywhere! There’s one of Them right behind you!”
Moist stopped himself from turning, because that way madness lay. Mind you, quite a lot of it was standing right here in front of him.

Daily Wizards:
Regrettably, said Mr. Spools, with a straight face, their “friendly” rivals, the wizards at Unseen University Press, had come a cropper with their talking books—
“Talking books? That sounds a good idea,” said Moist.
“Quite possibly,” said Spools, with a sniff. “But these weren’t meant to talk, and certainly not to complain about the quality of their glue and the hamfistedness of the typesetter."

Daily Moist von Lipwig:
“And that proves gold is only valuable because we agree it is, right? It’s just a dream. But a potato is always worth a potato, anywhere. Add a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and you’ve got a meal, anywhere. Bury gold in the ground and you’ll be worrying about thieves forever. Bury a potato and in due season you could be looking at a dividend of a thousand percent.”

Daily Pratchett:
“Well, you take rich people’s money and lend it to suitable people at interest, and give as little as possible of the interest back.”
“Yes, and what is a suitable person?”
“Someone who can prove they don’t need the money?”
“Oh, you cynic. But you have got the general idea.”
“No poor people, then?”
“Not in banks, Mr. Lipwig."
