Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...

"Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it's all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place."

Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Consider the situation. There you are, forehead like a set of balconies, worrying about the long-term effects of all this new 'fire' stuff on the environment, you're being chased and eaten by most of the planet's large animals, and suddenly tiny versions of one of the worst of them wanders into the cave and starts to purr.

Why humans like cats
Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat

It looked like the sort of book described in library catalogues as
"slightly foxed", although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had beed badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well.

Ah, but has it been hedgehogged?
Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic

Humans, eh? Think they're lords of creation. Not like us cats. We *know* we are. Ever see a cat feed a human? Case proven.

As far as I'm aware I'm not specifically banned anywhere in the USA, and am rather depressed about it. Surely some of you guys can do *something?*

Of course, Ankh-Morpork's citizens had always claimed that the river water was incredibly pure. Any water that had passed through so many kidneys, they reasoned, had to be very pure indeed.

"Yes, bugger all that." said Nanny. "Let's curse somebody."

Even Nanny Ogg gets upset occasionally

DROP THE SCYTHE, AND TURN AROUND SLOWLY.

Dirty Death
Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

#GNUTerryPratchett, #SpeakHisName, #Discworld

It is a fact that although the Death of the Discworld is, in his own words, an ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION, he long ago gave up using the traditional skeletal horses, because of the bother of having to stop all the time to wire bits back on.

Terry Pratchett, Mort

It's not enough to be able to pick up a sword. You have to know which end to poke into the enemy.

Tourist, Rincewind decided, meant "idiot".

I do note with interest that old women in my books become young women on the covers... this is discrimination against the chronologically gifted.
