->''If I ever do become an author decades from now that's one thing I'll definitely subvert. I intend to have an ancient conspiracy that didn't foresee Hitler declaring war on the Soviets and U.S., and with a poor understanding of nuclear weapons initially expected a bloody conventional war between the Warsaw Pact and N.A.T.O., only to find that the latter didn't happen and after previously investing too much into Germany they then transitioned to South America too soon which left them effectively powerless and prone to internal rebellion for decades. Then after they finally overcome the far-right prejudices of most of the older members and recruit Communist members the Soviet Union breaks up fifteen years later and the last of their useful Communist members (a Cuban) gets arrested on suspicion of spying for the Americans. They won't even be important to the story, it'll just be a big 'TakeThat' to all the books, movies and games with ancient, all powerful conspiracies.''

->'''Vetinari:''' ...I'm sorry if this offends you, but you fellows really need us.
->'''Vimes:''' Yes sir?
->'''Vetinari:''' Oh yes, we're the only ones who know how to make things work. You see, the only thing the good people are good at is overthrowing the bad people. And you're good at that, I'll grant you. But the trouble is that's the only thing you're good at. One day it's the ringing of the bells and the casting down of the evil tyrant, and the next it's everyone sitting around complaining that ever since the tyrant was overthrown no one's been taking out the trash. Because the bad people know how to plan. It's part of the specification, you might say. Every evil tyrant has a plan to rule the world. The good people don't seem to have the knack.

->''Here, as everywhere I have been in the Fascist Empire, it was imposible not to admire the Italian genius for fine buildings, roads, ports and public works. They built with skill and artistry and, only that strained nervous atmosphere that followed Fascism everywhere indicated that this was a civilization of the master for the master which the resident subject peoples must accept and support or else.''
