All Quotes taken from Hogfather [Discworld series - by Terry Pratchett

 

Quote 1

"You were the kind of kid who couldn't see the difference between throwing rocks at a cat and setting it on fire."

 

Quote 2

"You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?"

 

Quote 3

"And then Jack chopped down what was the world's last beanstalk, adding murder and ecological terrorism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned and all the giant's children didn't have a daddy any more. But he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you're a hero, because no one asks inconvenient questions."

 

Quote 4

"Humans need fantasy to *be* human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape."
