What Sound Does Yellow Make? :-D Post Your Favorite Discword Trope Here!

Having discovered Terry Pratchett's Discworld only a few years before his unfortunate death (don't know how I missed it, if this series was popular on the West side of the Atlantic when it began in the 1980's), I even more recently discovered there are apprx. 35 hilarious installments on this magical world which he crafted with such brilliant reflection on the real people in our world. I have since resolved to read every one of them in sequence, and while the series had its ups and downs, it only seems to improve every time he put out a story while writing at his best. At the moment I just began "Interesting Times", and it's another night of LMAO so far!
So if you're a Pratchett fan, what's your favorite quote, or Discworld trope?
Mr. Hanky loves you!

(paraphrased if not accurate)
The presence of those who are seeking the truth is infinitely more desirable than those who think they know it.

Thank's for posting that, I wasn't aware of any screen series other than the cartoons which I had managed to google up. This looks like one which may be well worth sitting through at some point in the future - Death has a really bad-ass skull, and actually cool vocals! Until then I look forward to reading (or hearing the audiobook) Hogfather!
Hear thee all, the words of our prophet: We need to believe in the good that we can make true, because no one else can make it so!
EDIT: Oh, I see now there doesn't really seem to be a series spanning Discworld at all - I found the Wyrd Sisters cartoon, which I didn't really think was the best of Discworld, and couldn't believe anyone would choose that if they were only going to do one of the books or even a few! Maybe you enjoyed the three witches, to each their own. They did have their moments.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

I think that's all. they were all well done.
