"I've met a few incorruptible men," said Madam Meserole. "They tend to die horrible deaths. The world balances out, you see. A corrupt man in a good world, or a good man in a corrupt one...the equation comes out the same way. The world does not deal well with those who don't pick a side."

"I like the middle," said Vimes.

"That gives you two enemies. I'm amazed that you can afford so many, on a sergeant's pay."

Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

[pratchettquotes]

"Your money or your life!" said the highwayman.

I'M SORRY?

"Your money," said the highwayman, "or your life. Which part of this don't you understand?"

OH, I SEE. WELL, I HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY.

A couple of coins landed on the frosty road. The highwayman scrabbled for them but could not pick them up, a fact that only added to his annoyance.

"It's you're life, then!"

The mounted figure shook its head. I THINK NOT. I REALLY DO.

Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum
