Terry Pratchett
Science fiction is fantasy with bolts painted on outside.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.
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
This wasn't food - it was what food became if it had been good and gone to food heaven.
Terry Pratchett
