"Rincewind was the least senior member of the faculty.  Indeed, the Archchancellor had made it clear that in seniority terms he ranked somewhat lower than the things that went ‘click’ in the woodwork.  He got no salary and had complete insecurity of tenure.  On the other hand, he got his laundry done free, a place at mealtimes and a bucket of coal a day.  He also had his own office, no one ever visited him and he was strictly forbidden from attempting to teach anything to anyone.  In academic terms, therefore, he considered himself pretty lucky."

"The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronized rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it. So they long ago plumped for a lifestyle that, in return for a certain amount of porterage and being prodded with sticks, allowed them adequate food and grooming and the chance to spit in a human's eye and get away with it."
