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

"First draft: let it run. Turn all the knobs up to 11. Second draft: hell. Cut it down and cut it into shape. Third draft: comb its nose and blow its hair. I usually find that most of the book will have handed itself to me on that first draft."

"Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one."

"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."

"The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head."

"Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom."
