Boots Quotes

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”
― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms: The Play

“All of the creatures were staring fixedly at Boots. She was standing on the back of her loyal cockroach friend, Temp, smack in the middle of the octagon, singing "The Itsy-Bisty Spider" at the top of her lungs. The green spider, to whom the song principially was directed, seemed to be cringing. Boots was somewhat off-key, but Gregor was pretty sure it was the loudness that was making the arachnid hunch down and contract.

"She has been going on like this for hours," whispered Nerissa. "Days more like it," said Ripred in disgust.

"Next I will sing one for you!" announced Boots, pointing at the bat, who actually flinched.”
― Suzanne Collins, Gregor and the Code of Claw

“Despite the honor of being remembered as the first colonist to set foot on Deanna, he was also credited with discovering crabby-grass, the aforementioned life-form that disliked being stepped on. However, this also led to the unintended consequence that Mr Lupini also set the record for being the first person to actually swear on Deanna. He still lived on Deanna, and attended the Founder’s Day Ceremony every year, in safety boots. Not surprisingly, the bronze Lupini didn’t look very amused. Beside the representation of Lupini, stood Deanna’s national bird. It was supposed to be a symbol of the early colonists’ determination to stay and make a success of the colony, but its expression only made it look slightly constipated.”

“Teaser Stand By You, vol. 1


"Hey, Sleeping Beauty! Time to wake up!”
Max’s voice wakes me up and I can feel the mattress sink down next to me.
“Aloys, don’t make me kiss you to wake you up,” she says, “even though you wouldn’t really have to force me to do that.”
Her laughter penetrates and I can feel my lips start to smile.
“I’m awake, I don’t need a kiss.”
“That’s too bad,” Max sighs.
I sit up and glance in her direction. She’s wearing a black Stetson, smiling and greets me taking off her Stetson.
“Howdy cowboy!”
“Um, howdy cowgirl!
“See that, I’m blending in with the locals!”
“I did, and you’re doing a good job of it.”
“I know,” she says, “I’m a hottie and just look at this pair of boots!”
I raise my head to look at her feet, and she is wearing a nice pair of boots, her feet look tiny in them.
“Sweet, you look like a real cowgirl now.”
I sit straight up and watch her smiling when she looks at her boots.
“Now I can walk in a huge cow pie!”
