Terry Pratchett
He sighed. It had come to this. He was a responsible authority, and people could use terms like core values at him with impunity.
Terry Pratchett
You can't second-guess ineffability, I always say.
Terry Pratchett
Putting up a statue to someone who tried to stop a war is not very, um, statuesque. Of course, if you had butchered five hundred of your own men out of arrogant carelessness, we'd be melting the bronze already.
Terry Pratchett
The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not sure about the turnip.
Terry Pratchett
