Terry Pratchett
It was also a room full of books and made of books. There was no actual furniture this is to say, the desk and chairs were shaped out of books. It looked as though many of them were frequently referred to, because they lay open with other books used as bookmarks.
Terry Pratchett
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
Terry Pratchett
THERE'S NO JUSTICE, said Mort. JUST US.
Terry Pratchett
A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.
Terry Pratchett
-Oh yes? Can you identify yourself? -Certainly. I'd know me anywhere.
Terry Pratchett
Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.
Terry Pratchett
We're philosophers. We think, therefore we am.
Terry Pratchett
I have a living will and I have friends, and I have money and I have hope.
