Terry Pratchett
Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
Terry Pratchett
Cake is not the issue here.
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 is possible to live well with dementia and write best-sellers 'like wot I do.
Terry Pratchett
Never trust any complicated cocktail that remains perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in, and then immediately clouds.
Terry Pratchett
I know that I am a small, weak man, but I have amassed a large library I dream of dangerous places.
Terry Pratchett
Things like crowns had a troublesome effect on clever folk it was best to leave all the reigning to the kind of people whose eyebrows met in the middle when they tried to think. In a funny sort of way, they were much better at it.
Terry Pratchett
