Carpe Jugulum (Discworld, #23; Witches, #6)

by Terry Pratchett

I mean, it’s one thing saying you’ve got the best god, but sayin’ it’s the only real one is a bit of a cheek, in my opinion.

“It’s not my place to tell ’em what to believe, if they act decent.”

People you can believe in, sometimes, but not gods.

You say that you people don’t burn folk and sacrifice people anymore, but that’s what true faith would mean, y’see? Sacrificin’ your own life, one day at a time, to the flame, declarin’ the truth of it, workin’ for it, breathin’ the soul of it. That’s religion. Anything else is just . . . is just bein’ nice.

Had her funny little ways, o’ course, but who hasn’t?”
