#pterry quotes

Another point for Rincewind being a gay* icon before he officially came out - being perfectly able to pick up on the potential for dick jokes and spending the next two pages completely missing the fact that a supernaturally beautiful woman is trying to seduce him.

“Jeremy always liked the moment when he had a clock in pieces, with every wheel and spring carefully laid out on the black velvet cloth in front of him. It was like looking at Time, dismantled, controllable, every part of it understood... He wished his life was like that. It would be nice to reduce it to bits, spread them all out on the table, clean and oil them properly and put them together so that they coiled and spun as they ought to. But sometimes it seemed that the life of Jeremy had been assembled by a not very competent craftsman, who had allowed a number of small but important things to go ping into the corners of the room.”

Hello everyone I'm demented about Rincewind again and need you all to read this quote.
