It was some time after its creation when most people forgot that the very oldest stories of the beginning are, sooner or later, about blood. Drifting onwards through space, atop four elephants on the shell of a giant turtle, the Great A'Tuin. But much, much later than that, the Discworld was formed. There is the constant desire to find out where - where is the point where it all began. How else can they become?Įverything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree. You need to believe in things that aren't true. some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.īut people have got to believe that, or what's the point? you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and THEN show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy.

What would have happened if you hadn't saved him?Ī mere ball of flaming gas would have illuminated the world.Īll right, I'm not stupid.
