Re: One Great Quote from your favorite characters

[(Anonymous)]

With all the Discworld quotes, I figured I'd add a couple more more. A pair of quotes from quite probably my favourite character in the universe, one from very early in the series and one from very late.

Vetinari, from Guards Guards:

"Down there - he said - are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any inequity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathsomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no."

Vetinari, from Unseen Academicals:

"And that is when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

I put them together because from the first one, early on, you think Vetinari sees himself as a pragmatic man in a world full of evil. And then you get to the later one, and you realise that what drives him isn't pragmatism, it's the calm, firm determination to be better than God. Not even in the sense of 'more powerful', but in the sense of morally superior. If a Supreme Being made this world of infinite pain, well then, Vetinari's just going to have to show said Being what it should have done instead.

There is sheer, bald-faced nerve, ladies and gents, and then there is Havelock Vetinari. Good gods, I love that man.
