"It was a very straightforward sword, long and sharp; it looked both old and unused; and it had nothing ornamenthal or impressive about it. This was no magical sword, no mystic weapon of power and might. It was obviously a sword created to slice, chop, cut, preferably kill, but, failing that, irreparably maim, a very large number of people indeed. It had an indefinable aura of hatred and menace."
-Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
