This is space. It's sometimes called the final frontier. (Except that of course you can't have a final frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier to, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate . . .)

More quotes by Terry Pratchett
No one knew where you were before you were born, but when you were born, it wasn't long before you found you'd arrived with your return ticket already punched.
Terry Pratchett
Be careful what you wish for. You never know who will be listening.
Terry Pratchett
One of the hardest lessons in young Sam's life had been finding out that the people in charge weren't in charge. It had been finding out that governments were not, on the whole, staffed by people who had a grip, and that plans were what people made instead of thinking.
Terry Pratchett
She was convinced that she was anorexic, because every time she looked in the mirror she did indeed see a fat person.
Terry Pratchett
What's money interested in? More money.
Terry Pratchett
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.
Terry Pratchett
Just because you've got a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you have to treat everyone else like a nail
Terry Pratchett
For an author, the nice characters aren't much fun. What you want are the screwed up characters. You know, the characters that are constantly wondering if what they are doing is the right thing, characters that are not only screwed up but are self-tapping screws. They're doing it for themselves.
Terry Pratchett
Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get out.
Terry Pratchett
I used to think that I was stupid, and then I met philosophers.
Terry Pratchett
They looked at one another in incomprehension, two minds driving opposite ways up a narrow street and waiting for the other man to reverse first.
Terry Pratchett
You never knew about people, like you never knew how deep a pond was because all you saw was the top.
Terry Pratchett
Now that their long war was over, they could get on with the proper concern of all civilised nations, which is to prepare for the next one.
Terry Pratchett
It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country, he read. This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.
Terry Pratchett
In her own special category, she was quite beautiful. This was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at.
Terry Pratchett
Most gods find it hard to walk and think at the same time.
Terry Pratchett
When a man is tired of Ankh-Morpork, he is tired of ankle-deep slurry.
Terry Pratchett
Not for the first time in the history of the universe, someone for whom communication normally came as effortlessly as a dream was stuck for inspiration when faced with a few lines on the back of a card.
Terry Pratchett
Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up.
Terry Pratchett
If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power... they will talk, they will gloat. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.
Terry Pratchett
