Terry Pratchett
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a writer who's writing books, and therefore, I don't want to die. You'd miss the end of the book, wouldn't you? You can't die with an unfinished book.
Terry Pratchett
People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it.
Terry Pratchett
Stand before your god, bow before your king, kneel before your man.
Terry Pratchett
I don't read an awful lot of fiction and when I do, it tends to be lightweight stuff.
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
Good and bad is tricky, she said. I ain't too certain about where people stand. P'raps what matters is which way you face. (pp. 348-349)
Terry Pratchett
All property is theft, except mine.
