We're dealing here," said Vimes, "With a twisted mind."
"Oh, no! You think so?"
"Yes."
"But... no... you can't be right. Because Nobby was with us all the time."
"Not Nobby," said Vimes testily. "Whatever he might do to a dragon, I doubt if he'd make it explode. There's stranger people in this world than Corporal Nobbs, my lad."

You expected him any moment to break into the kind of song that has suspicious rhymes and phrases like "my kind of town" and "I wanna be a part of it" in it; the kind of song where people dance in the street and give the singer apples and join in and a dozen lowly matchgirls suddenly show amazing choreographical ability and everyone acts like cheery lovable citizens instead of the murderous, evil-minded, self-centered people they suspect themselves to be.

Предпочита хората да си приказват какъв страхливец е Ринсуинд, отколкото да признават, че е бил невероятно храбър, чак до мига, когато нещо го е прехапало на две половинки. През продължителната си кариера е присъствал на сътворението на Вселената, пътувал е из ада, сериозно е досадил на Смърт, падал е от Диска, победил е най- могъщия магьосник на света с помощта на половин тухла, пъхната в чорап и се е справил с мнжество чудовища, някои от които в човешки облик. Във всяка от изброените случки отначало е имал намерението да направи нещо съвсем различно от крайния резултат. Из 'Албумът на Тери Пратчет

Ankh-Morpork! Pearl of cities! This is not a completely accurate description, of course — it was not round and shiny — but even its worst enemies would agree that if you had to liken Ankh-Morpork to anything, then it might as well be a piece of rubbish covered with the diseased secretions of a dying mollusc.
