“God is the Lord, of angels, and of men - and of elves”
“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.Elves are terrific. They beget terror.The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.No one ever said elves are nice.Elves are bad.”
Terry Pratchett
“His reserve of disdain appears endless. He could no sooner shut it off than a vampire could forgo his nightcap.”
