Terry Pratchett
The most important thing was that time had passed, pouring thousands of soothing seconds across the island. People need time to deal with the now before it runs away and becomes the then.
Terry Pratchett
I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel.
Terry Pratchett
How do you get all those coins? asked Mort. IN PAIRS.
