Haha ja. Jeg plejer traditionelt at indfange madkasser et par dage inden nytår - efter de har udviklet eget liv men inden det har nået rudimentær intelligensniveau.

RIGHT, AND THE DEATH OF FLEAS CAN RIDE IT TOO. THAT WAY YOU KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.
METAPHORICALLY.

They mean that men act like men toward other men, and the worse they are, the more they think they’re really being like wolves.

It was what happened when the machinery of city life faltered, the wheels stopped turning and all the little rules broke down. And when that happened, humans were worse than sheep. Sheep just ran; they didn't try to bite the sheep next to them.

As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn't measure up. What would run through the streets soon enough wouldn't be a revolution or a riot. It'd be people who were frightened and panicking.

The People tended to be small-minded, conservative, not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. The children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.

Me too. It cuts down to the very core of most of the evil in the world - no longer thinking of others as humans.

"Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes--"

"No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."

A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years.

"Admittedly, they tended to say things like, "You'll never guess what we're going to do to you, pal," but that took time. And Rincewind could do a lot with a few more seconds. He could use them to live longer in."

She might. As her conversation goes "I still weight the same as before." - "Yeah, but it shifted."

All great bets. I'd also include Making Money, Thud! and Fifth Elephant.
