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 . . .)
Terry Pratchett
And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based.
Terry Pratchett
TV people in the UK... I'm getting on a lot better with them.
Terry Pratchett
For example, the dwarfs found out how to turn lead into gold by doing it the hard way. The difference between that and the easy way is that the hard way works.
Terry Pratchett
When much is taken, something is returned.
Terry Pratchett
The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.
Terry Pratchett
Actors, said Granny, witheringly. As if the world weren't full of enough history without inventing more.
Terry Pratchett
A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.
Terry Pratchett
Well, the news has got around. The Duchess of Keepsake has invited us to a ball, Sir Henry and Lady Withering have invited us to a ball, and Lord and Lady Hangfinger have invited us to... yes, a ball. Well, that's a lot of... Don't you dare, Sam.
