Superb metaphor 👌
"Fear is strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground."

Exactly my thoughts about the Creator and the state of the world
"But there were things to suggest to a thinking man that the Creator of mankind had a very oblique sense of fun indeed, and to breed in his heart a rage to storm the gates of heaven...
...The mugs, for example.
They had legends on them like A Present From the Holy Grotto of Ossory, or To The World’s Greatest Daddy"

The Citadel would be a fascist's wet dream...
"No matter what your skills, there was a place for you in the Citadel.
And if your skill lay in asking the wrong kinds of questions or losing the righteous kind of wars, the place might just be the furnaces of purity, or the Quisition’s pits of justice.
A place for everyone. And everyone in their place."-from #SmallGods by #terrypratchett #discworld #discworldquotes @bookstodon #bookquotes #reading #dissent #fascism #GNUPterry

Rincewind: “I assure you the thought never even crossed my mind, lord.”
The Patrician: “Indeed? Then if I were you I’d sue my face for slander.”
