Honestly should I become a figure of authority or in a position of power, I will absolutely make "Please, do not allow me to detain you." to be my perfectly normal conversation ender.

I love that #Vetinari -- this is canon from Guards! Guards! -- talks to and works with the #Discworld 's population of rats. He describes the arrangement as "mutual"; the rats bring him things and information, and he "advises" them.

So much of Vetinari's spooky power in later books makes complete sense now, if I remember that he's basically Ant Man, with a massive army of rattos doing his bidding. Marvelous. :D

I think Lord Vetinari’s regime is the ideal form of government, including others that have been tried from time to time.

Sadly, it only exists in a city on a world that is on a disc that sits on the back of four elephants that stand on a turtle swimming in intergalactic space.

When the world gets too messed up and confusing, I turn to Terry Pratchett for help.

Today I found solace in The Truth.

Conversations between Commander #Vimes and Lord #Vetinari are just the best. I love every dialoge between them.

Sir Terry #Pratchett was such an amazing word artist.
