More From Terry Pratchett

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I am obliged to interpolate some remarks on a very difficult subject: proof and its importance in mathematics. all physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians, are contemptuous about proof. i have heard professor eddington, for example, maintain that proof, as pure mathematicians understand it, is really quite uninteresting and unimportant, and that no one who is really certain that he has found something good should waste his time looking for proof.

As we move forward, i am looking for a new leader of the chicago police department to address the problems at the very heart of the policing profession. the problem is sometimes referred to as "the thin blue line." the problem is other times referred to as "the code of silence." it is this tendency to ignore. it is the tendency to deny. it is the tendency, in some cases, to cover up the bad actions of a colleague or colleagues.

A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him. it is necessarily part of the business of a banker to maintain appearances, and to confess a conventional respectability, which is more than human. life-long practices of this kind make them the most romantic and the least realistic of men.

Yet birth, and lust, and illness, and death are changeless things, and when one of these harsh facts springs out upon a man at some sudden turn of the path of life, it dashes off for the moment his mask of civilization and gives a glimpse of the stranger and stronger face below.
