Terry Pratchett
It seems sensible to me that we should look to the medical profession, that over the centuries has helped us to live longer and healthier lives, to help us die peacefully among our loved ones in our own home without a long stay in God's waiting room.
Terry Pratchett
They may have been ugly. They may have been evil. But when it came to poetry in motion, the Things had all the grace and coordination of a deck-chair.
Terry Pratchett
Truly, he thought, the way of enlightenment is like unto half a mile of broken glass.
Terry Pratchett
What can the harvest hope for...
Terry Pratchett
In the world I live in, 'not worse' is nearly as good as 'better'.
Terry Pratchett
In defiance of Miss Maccalariat I'd like to commit hanky-panky with you, Miss Adora Belle Dearheart... well, certainly hanky, and possibly panky when we get to know one another better.
Terry Pratchett
