Terry Prachett Quotes

Several sellers of hot meat pies and sausages in a bun had appeared from nowhere and were doing a brisk trade. [Footnote: They always do, everywhere. No-one sees them arrive. The logical explaination is that the franchise includes the stall, the paper hat and a small gas-powered time machine.]

I will remember what I was, I am sick of rope and chains -I will remember my old strength and all my forest affairs.

I will revisit my lost love and playmates masterless! Rudyard Kipling
