Discworld QOTD, from The Truth
“Are you sure you’re allowed to do this?” she said.
“No! I’m not! I won’t know until after I’ve done it! That’s why I’ve got to do it! Then I’ll know!”
in this world there are a lot of people who think like this and a lot of people who wait for the people who think like this to go first
it is a lot safer to be the second type
Counterpoint: *gestures around*
I don't think the evidence supports you. A lot of people out here doing things they know they're not supposed to and getting away with it. May as well give things a shot that aren't clearly circumscribed.
I’ve been revisiting the series (very much inspired by reading the quotes you post) through the new audible releases and just finished The Truth. This one always hits hard. Such insight articulated in such a clever manner.
