Terry Pratchett
The IQ of a mob is the IQ of its dumbest member divided by the number of mobsters.
Terry Pratchett
There was no safety. There was no pride. All there was, was money. Everything became money, and money became everything. Money treated us as if we were things, and we died.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Sooner or later we're all someone's dog.
Terry Pratchett
The baby boomers are getting older, and will stay older for longer. And they will run right into the dementia firing range. How will a society cope? Especially a society that can't so readily rely on those stable family relationships that traditionally provided the backbone of care?
Terry Pratchett
It's daft, locking us up, said Nanny. I'd have had us killed. That's because you're basically good, said Magrat. The good are innocent and create justice. The bad are guilty, which is why they invent mercy.
Terry Pratchett
Everywhere I look, I see something holy.
Terry Pratchett
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, well...up until now it had been a good day, in a horrible kind of way.
Terry Pratchett
