It was enchantment itself. But Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I can't stand any music that requires its singers to be so dumb they wear their baseball caps backwards.
Terry Pratchett
They may have been ugly. They may have been evil. But when it came to poetry in motion, the Things had all the grace and coordination of a deck-chair.
Terry Pratchett
When it's time to stop living, I will certainly make Death my number one choice!
