Night Watch Quotes

We used to think time was like a river, you could row up and down and come back to the same place. Then we found it acted like a sea, so you could go from side to side as well. Then it turned out to be like a ball of water; you could go up and down, too. Currently we think it's like ... oh, lots of spaces, all rolled up. And then there are time jumps, and time slips, and humans mess it up, too, wasting it and gaining it. And then there's quantum, of course. - Quote from Night Watch book by Terry Pratchett

Let this be a lesson, lad. There aren't any rules. Not when there's knives out. You take him down, quietly if possible, without hurting him much, if possible, but you take him down.

You make it peaceful as quickly as you can. - Quote from Night Watch book by Terry Pratchett
