Fortune-discworld offers a collection of quotes from Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" novels. It is a software project that lets users access a compendium of wise and witty sayings that reference the author's fantastical realm.
The Fortune-Discworld project is a collection of quotes taken from the "Discworld" novels written by Terry Pratchett. These novels feature characters that act as observers of the universe's operation, serving as its clerks and auditors. Their duty is to ensure that everything runs smoothly, causing rocks to fall and ensuring that things keep spinning as they should.
In the belief of these entities, for something to exist, it must have a specific position in time and space. However, the arrival of humanity was seen as a nasty surprise, given that humans are made up of intangible things like imagination, hope, pity, belief, and history, which do not have a specific physical location in the universe.
Without these elements, humanity is reduced to just another animal that frequently falls out of trees. To install the Fortune-Discworld quotes, one must copy the .dat file into their fortunes directory (which may be located at /usr/games/lib/fortunes). Once installed, accessing the quotes is as simple as typing in "# fortune discworld."
