Quote from Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Quote from Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

But is all this true?” said Brutha.Didactylos shrugged. “Could be. Could be. We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.””You mean you don’t KNOW it’s true?” said Brutha.”I THINK it might be,” said Didactylos. “I could be wrong.

Quote from Terry Pratchett, The Truth

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don’t think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who’s been pinching my beer? And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman’s eye.

Quote from Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.
