A favorite exchange:
But somehow the wrath of the gods would have been better than the sound of that voice…The voice didn’t believe in gods, which in Rincewind’s book was fair enough, but it didn’t believe in people either.
…“Come to gloat?” whispered Rincewind. Death shrugged.
I HAVE COME TO SEE THE FUTURE, he said.
“This is the future?”
A FUTURE, said Death.
“It’s horrible,” said Rincewind.
I’M INCLINED TO AGREE, said Death.
“I would have thought you’d be all for it!”
NOT LIKE THIS. THE DEATH OF THE WARRIOR OR THE OLD MAN OR THE LITTLE CHILD, THIS I UNDERSTAND, AND I TAKE AWAY THE PAIN AND END THE SUFFERING. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS DEATH-OF-THE-MIND.
