Terry Pratchett
If I had been Terry Pratchett the farmer, or Terry Pratchett the dentist, nobody would have paid any attention if I had announced I had Alzheimer's. But there is something fascinating about an author losing the power over words.
Terry Pratchett
Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.
Terry Pratchett
As a species, we are forever sticking our finger into the electric socket of the universe to see what will happen next.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, where are my manners? Do sit down. Pull up a small child.
Terry Pratchett
An ancient proverb summed it up when a wizard is tired of looking for broken glass in his dinner, it ran, he is tired of life.
Terry Pratchett
