Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods
“Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”

What’s a metaphor?
"but what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime?
Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to
hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"
Pratchett, Snuff
