A running game I play involves quotes from my favorite author Terry Pratchett.

1. "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." - said which character? [won by Rainbow Panda!]
2. “Them as can do has to do for them as can’t. And someone has to speak up for them as has no voices.” - said which character? [won by Teemo]
3. "Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry." - said which character? [won by dragoness129]
4. "They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance." - said which character? [won by Saeyra]
5. "The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called catlike, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things." - which assassin? [won by okios]
6."He got the bridle on, while hopping on one foot. There was no point in bothering with a saddle. He knew how to ride without a saddle. Hell, once he’d ridden without pants, too, but luckily all the tar and feathers helped him stick to the horse. He was the world champion at leaving town in a hurry." - who is? [won by RainbowPanda]

7. “I have, myself, prayed many times on the field of battle. Many times have I said The Soldier’s Prayer, sir, and I don’t mind admitting it.” “Er…I don’t think I know that one,” said Blouse. “Oh, I reckon the words’ll come to you soon enough, sir, once you’re up against the foe. Gen’rally, though, they’re on the lines of ‘oh god, let me kill this bastard before he kills me.’” -said which character? [won by RainbowPanda]
8. "They stole from rich merchants and temples and kings. They didn’t steal from poor people; this was not because there was anything virtuous about poor people, it was simply because poor people had no money." - who are "they"? [won by RainbowPanda]
9. "“I shall deal with the matter momentarily,” he said. It was a good word. It always made people hesitate. They were never quite sure whether he meant he’d deal with it now, or just deal with it briefly. And no one ever dared ask." - said which character? [won by RainbowPanda]
10. “Right. Now, then, cla—I mean, gentlemen. Ghenghiz wants an apple. There’s a stall over there selling fruit and nuts. What does he do?” Mr. Saveloy looked hopefully at his charges. “Anyone? Yes?”" - what does he do? [won by RainbowPanda]
