Terry Pratchett
She was a beefy young woman and, whatever piece of music she was playing, it was definitely losing.
Terry Pratchett
Personal’s not the same as important. People just think it is.
Terry Pratchett
Right! Right! You can get there! I can get there! You're a natural at counting to two! I'm a nat'ral at counting to two! If you can count to two, you can count to anything! If I can count to two, I can count to anything! And then the world is your mollusc! My mollusc! What's a mollusc?
