About This Quote
A flicker of defiance flared very briefly in Rincewind's battered heart. This is a common phrase that is used to describe a feeling that seems quickly forgotten after it happens. For example, when you receive a bad grade on a test or when you lose a battle in an online game. It means that the person who is describing the situation has had the thought that they might not have been able to do it or be able to make it through, but they still tried.
In this case, the thoughts of defiance came from Rincewind's heart when he saw his friends being dragged away by trolls.
