Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you. - Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

"There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do."

"Just because you can explain it doesn't mean it's not still a miracle."

"The merest accident of microgeography had meant that the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been different. For sheep are stupid, and have to be driven. But goats are intelligent, and need to be led."

"The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to."

"Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you."
