“One of my predecessors used to have people torn to death by wild tortoises. It was not a quick death.”

“One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.”

“Some people believe that when you die, you cross the River of Death and have to pay the ferryman. People don’t seem to worry about that these days. Perhaps there’s a bridge now.”

“Not craftsmen, my lord" he said. "I have no use for people who have learned the limits of the possible”

“If words had weight, a single sentence from Death would have anchored a ship.”

“SEE THE MAN NEXT TO HIM? WITH THE LITTLE MOUSTACHE AND THE GRIN LIKE A LIZARD? Death pointed with his scythe. 'Yes?' HIS COUSIN, THE DUKE OF STO HELIT. NOT THE NICEST OF PEOPLE, said Death. A HANDY MAN WITH A BOTTLE OF POISON. FIFTH IN LINE TO THE THRONE LAST YEAR, NOW SECOND IN LINE. BIT OF A SOCIAL CLIMBER, YOU MIGHT SAY.”

“THERE IS NO JUSTICE" said Death "JUST ME”
