If you [Carrot] were dice, you'd always roll sixes. And the dice don't
roll themselves. If it wasn't against everything he wanted to be true
about the world, Vimes might just then have believed in destiny
controlling people. And gods help the other people who were around when
a big destiny was alive in the world, bending every poor bugger around
itself...
