If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you. - Terry Pratchett

"IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT /MEANT/ TO BE SAFE."

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

"I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel."

"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."

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