escapism isn't good or bad in itself. what is important is what you are escaping from and where you are escaping to.
Terry Pratchett
Whatever you choose, your choice will mean there are two new worlds. And perhaps sometimes, on the edge of sleep, we will see the shadow of the other world. There will be no unhappy memories.
Terry Pratchett
Ponder just let it happen. It's because their minds are so often involved with deep and problematic matters, he told himself, that their mouths are allowed to wander around making a nuisance of themselves.
Terry Pratchett
The conflict is not between Christianity and Islam or between East and West - instead, it is between stupid people and other stupid people.
Terry Pratchett
He'd always known that the world was an interesting place, and his imagination had peopled it with pirates and bandits and spies and astronauts and similar.

Terry Pratchett
