Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting 'All the Gods are bastards.'
Terry Pratchett
I used to think that I was stupid, and then I met philosophers.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Ponder just let it happen. It's because their minds are so often involved with deep and problematic matters, he told himself, that their mouths are allowed to wander around making a nuisance of themselves.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.
