Terry Pratchett
Oh. I see. People don't want to see what can't possibly exist.
Terry Pratchett
Bill Door was impressed. Miss Flitworth could actually give the word revenue, which had two vowels and one diphthong, all the peremptoriness of the word scum.
Terry Pratchett
Ritual and ceremony in their due times kept the world under the sky and the stars in their courses. It was astonishing what ritual and ceremony could do.
Terry Pratchett
Humanity's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.
Terry Pratchett
