It is a mistake trying to cheer up camels. You may as well drop meringues into a black hole. (P)
Vimes awoke with a noseful of camel. There are far worse awakenings, but not as many as you might think. (J)
Lack of fingers was another big spur to the development of camel intellect. Human mathematical development had always been held back by everyone’s instinctive tendency, when faced with something really complex in the way of triform polynomials or parametric differentials, to count fingers. Camels started from the word go by counting numbers. (P)
It's not for nothing that advanced mathematics tends to be invented in hot countries. It’s because of the morphic resonance of all the camels, who have that disdainful expression and famous curled lip as a natural result of an ability to do quadratic equations. (P)
The conversation of human beings seldom interested him, but it crossed his mind that the males and females always got along best when neither actually listened fully to what the other one was saying. It was much simpler with camels. (P)
Camels gallop by throwing their feet as far away from them as possible and then running to keep up. (P)
The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronised rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don’t find out about it. (P)
Camels have a very democratic approach to the human race. They hate every member of it, without making any distinction for rank or creed. (P)
