Quote by Terry Pratchett

An Assassin, a real Assassin had to look like one-black clothes, hood, boots, and all. If they could wear any clothes, any disguise, then what could anyone do but spend all day in a small room with a loaded crossbow pointed at the door?

An Assassin, a real Assassin had to look like one-black clot

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of appearance in the identity and perception of an assassin. It suggests that a true assassin must embody the stereotypical image associated with their profession - wearing black clothes, a hood, and boots. By adhering to this image, an assassin is able to strike fear in others and maintain an element of surprise. The quote implies that if assassins were allowed to blend into any disguise, it would be nearly impossible to identify and protect oneself against them. The visual depiction of an assassin is a crucial deterrent and instigator of caution.

Scepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral

Scepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.
