There's something going on down here, something wrong; I can feel it in my boots and, believe me, they're the most sensitive boots that ever were. The man who runs the village pub knows everything - I know that and so do you. If you're not on my side you're in my way and you know something, I can see it in your eyes. If it turns out you knew something of importance about the blacksmith you'll have invited yourself to be an accessory after the fact, with a free option, if I can get the bit between my teeth, of before the fact, which leaves you right in the middle, and that's a fact.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Terry Pratchett" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/terry-pratchett/don-t-you-squire-me-there-s-something-going-on-down-here-something/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5a1/terry-pratchett-19_discworld_don-t-you-squire-me-there-s-something-go_721524.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5a1/terry-pratchett-19_discworld_don-t-you-squire-me-there-s-something-go_721524.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5a1/terry-pratchett-19_discworld_don-t-you-squire-me-there-s-something-go_721524.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Don't you squire me.

Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now.
