Quotes from "Nation" by Terry Pratchett

-->"If a lie will make us strong, a lie will be my weapon. People want lies to live by. They cry out for them."
-->"It's science"..."A lot of people will try to prove you wrong. The more they fail, the more right you will become."
-->"Leaving a man in uncertain waters without weapons is a death sentence."
-->"One person is nothing. Two people are nation"-"What are three people?"-"A bigger nation."
-->"You are very clever"..."I would like to eat your brains, one day."

I'll make you an offer you can't refuse <---> Te haré una oferta que no podrás rechazar.
Revenge is a dish that tastes best when it's cold <---> La venganza es un plato que se sirve frío.
