"I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."<br>DEATH: "REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE."<br>"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"<br>YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.<br>"So we can believe the big ones?"<br>YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.<br>"They're not the same at all!"<br>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. AND YET — Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.<br>"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"<br>MY POINT EXACTLY.</p><p>— Terry Pratchett, <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Hogfather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hogfather</span></a></p></blockquote><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryPratchett</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/DEATH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEATH</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a></p>

For a new decent world<p>Happy <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hogswatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hogswatch</span></a> everybody!</p><p>If you are unawere what I'm on about and you like witty fantasy, you are bored with "classical" <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Santa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Santa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Christmas</span></a> stories then I would recommend you to read the book <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hogfather" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hogfather</span></a> by Terry <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pratchett</span></a>, see the two-part TV adaptation and/or listen unabridged audiobook narrated by amazing Sian Clifford, Peter Serafinowicz and Bill Nighy. My favourite quotes from the book are "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time", "Susan says, don't get afraid, get angry" and especially "HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM".</p>
