Terry Pratchett
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett

Sooner or later we're all someone's dog.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I can see we're going to get along like a house on fire, said Miss Tick. There may be no survivors.
Terry Pratchett
Asking someone to repeat a phrase you'd not only heard very clearly but were also exceedingly angry about was around Defcon II in the lexicon of squabble.
Terry Pratchett
They say that the prospect of being hanged in the morning concentrates a man's mind wonderfully unfortunately, what the mind inevitably concentrates on is that, in the morning, it will be in a body that is going to be hanged.
Terry Pratchett
Maybe the best comics are written by people who really are at ease in the comic world.
