Terry Pratchett
I keep vaguely wondering what Macs are like, but the ones I've seen spend too much time being friendly.
Terry Pratchett
When much is taken, something is returned.
Terry Pratchett
People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around.

Terry Pratchett
It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself. But Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple.
Terry Pratchett
I like the idea of democracy. You have to have someone everyone distrusts.
Terry Pratchett
The short conversation that follows eventually led to a tree religion. Its tenet of faith was this: a tree that was a good tree and led a clean decent and upstanding life could be assured of a future life after death.

Terry Pratchett
Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?
Terry Pratchett
