More quotes by Terry Pratchett, Soul Music

"The universe danced towards life. Life was a remarkably common commodity. Anything sufficiently complicated seemed to get cut in for some, in the same way that anything massive enough got a generous helping of gravity. The universe had a definite tendency towards awareness. This suggested a certain subtle cruelty woven into the very fabric of space-time."
"Be careful what you wish for. You never know who will be listening."
"It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could, but you were still alive."
