“There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.” - Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

There's always a Pratchett quote.
When did he write this bit? Taking about the Cenobiarch?
The Inquisitors having coffee mugs and family mementos at their place of work. Which was a dungeon where they tortured people.
Ahhhhh. TY

Mentioned this specific quote a while back and it's horrifyingly accurate, especially now.
I've considered this quote more than once this year..
TRULY ONE OF THE PRATCHETT QUOTES OF ALL TIME
he’s got one for everything but he’s got quite a lot on how otherwise normal people are capable of being total monsters
yepppppp the vimes books are great for them, if there is any thematic throughline that unites that series its that
Small Gods was my intro to Pratchett and remains my favorite book by him 🖤
Same!
thinking about The Potatoes of Defiance a lot for no particular reason
They like their dog and family, they just don’t like YOU
