LinkeLeken 10

Rørt til tårer ser jeg at dagens liste blir rekordlang!
Denne runden er ikke bare en hyllest til dere, men også til min favoritt; Terry Pratchett!

Prinsesse Vil Ikke

"Give anyone a lever long enough and they can change the world.
It's unreliable levers that are the problem." (Small Gods)

Stjernesøkeren

"Granddad was superstitious about books. He thought that if you had enough of them around, education leaked out, like radioactivity." (Johnny and the dead)

Minneapolise

"It had been in a pocket diary, and the names of the faraway places written on it were like magic -- Africa, Australia, China, Equator, Printed in Hong Kong, Iceland..." (Wings)

Grombaben

"DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH." (Good Omens)

Snuppelura

"Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills." (Pyramids)

Lothiane

"The people who really run organizations are usually found several levels down, where it is still possible to get things done." (Small Gods)

Shamini

"Pets are always a great help in times of stress. And in times of starvation too, o'course." (Small Gods)

Trine40

"It's an old magical principle -- it's even filtered down into RPG systems -- that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' -- in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course." (Terry Pratchett)

Øystein

"And then there were the frogs.
Very, very small frogs.
They had such a tiny life cycle it still had trainer wheels on it."
--

"It would be nice to say that the tiny frogs thought long and hard about the new flower, about life in the old flower, about the need to explore, about the possibility that the world was bigger than a pool with petals around the edge.
In fact, what they thought was: "._._.mipmip._._.mipmip._._.mipmip". (Wings)

Gretten

"The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight." (Eric)

Marisol

"He's muffed it," said Simony. "he could have done *anything* with them. And he just told them the facts. You can't inspire people with facts. They need a cause. They need a symbol." (Small Gods)

Quirky

"Of course, just because we've heard a spine-chilling, blood-curdling scream of the sort to make your very marrow freeze in your bones doesn't automatically mean there's anything wrong." (Soul Music)

Jorun

"The Librarian had seen many weird things in his time, but that had to be the 57th strangest." [footnote: he had a tidy mind] (Moving Pictures)

Ajdah

"Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind." (Reaper Man)

Stine

Jaime had never realised that trees made a sound when they grew, and no-one else had realised it either, because the sound is made over hundreds of years in waves of twenty-four hours from peak to peak. Speed it up, and the sound a tree makes is *vrooom*. (Good Omens)

Eirin

"The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo." (Wyrd Sisters)
