Terry Pratchett
What's the good of having mastery over cosmic balance and knowing the secrets of fate if you can't blow something up?
Terry Pratchett
People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.
Terry Pratchett
A police procedural novel can be even funnier if the police include Trolls and Dwarves and things like that. You start looking at the whole basis of the cop novel. You get the cop moving in a different way when you've actually set it in a fantasy city.
Terry Pratchett
