Summary

This quote from the book highlights a humorous conversation between two characters discussing the religious atmosphere in the city of Ankh-Morpork. Maladict points out the large number of places of worship in the city, indicating a religious presence. Strappi, however, dismisses this observation by stating that Ankh-Morpork, being a city, is inherently godless. The quote plays on the contrast between the religious institutions present and the general lack of spirituality or reverence felt in the bustling city.

Okay, so, sometimes in life, I can be a score-keeper - someone who keeps track of what he gives and what he gets in return. An annoying quality, to say the least, and I'm sure my wife has your sympathy, but it's made me highly attuned to when and where credit is due.

After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condi

After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is. Though feminists have been arguing for years that there is a self-defining female energy, and a female libido that is not expressed merely in response to demands by the male, and a female way of being and of experiencing the world, we are still not close to understanding what it might be. Yet every mother who has held a girl child in her arms has known that she was different from a boy child and that she would approach the reality around her in a different way. She is a female and she will die female, and though many centuries should pass, archaeologists would identify her skeleton as the remains of a female creature.
