Terry Prachett

Sometimes I think it is a great mistake to have matter that can think and feel. It complains so. By the same token, though, I suppose that boulders and mountains and moons could be accused of being a little too phlegmatic. Kurt Vonnegut
Can't one love or hate", I broke out at him, "as long as that? Don't make any mistake. I'm just another of your jealous clients, I don't claim to be any different fro m the rest, but there's been a time-lag in my case. Graham Greene
Sue Grafton quote: "People make mistakes. People do things they never meant to do."
People make mistakes. People do things they never meant to do. Sue Grafton
