“...fear is part of our inheritance.Lev from "City of Thieves”

“Once you have explored a fear, it becomes less terrifying. Part of courage comes from extending our knowledge.”

“If there were such a thing as an inter-city thieving contest, Ankh-Morpork would bring home the trophy and probably everyone’s wallets.”

“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.”

“I was a coward. I used to be haunted by the fear of thieves, ghosts and serpents. I did not dare to stir out of doors at night. Darkness was a terror to me. It was almost impossible for me to sleep in the dark, as I would imagine ghosts coming from one direction, thieves from another and serpents from a third. I could not therefore bear to sleep without a light in the room. ”

“They have decided nothing can kill them but God himself, and they don't even believe in him." -- David Benioff; City of Thieves”
