Books must be treated with respect, we feel that in our bone... - Terry Pratchett

"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this."

"Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT."Albert: "Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them."

"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living."

"I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it."

"We have been so successful in the past century at the art of living longer and staying alive that we have forgotten how to die. Too often we learn the hard way. As soon as the baby boomers pass pensionable age, their lesson will be harsher still."
