“It was lonely on the hill, and cold. And all you could do was keep going. You could scream, cry, and stamp your feet, but apart from making you feel warmer, it wouldn’t do any good.”
Terry Pratchett; Wintersmith

It wasn't a dark and stormy night. It should have been, but there's the weather for you. For every mad scientist who's had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is complete and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who've sat around aimlessly under the peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime.
Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens
“‘Why is it all Mr. Dibbler’s films are set against the background of a world gone mad?’ said the dwarf. Soll’s eyes narrowed. ‘Because Mr. Dibbler,’ he growled, ‘is a very observant man.’”

*No-one* liked the Joshua N'Clement block. There were two schools of thought about what should be done with it. The people who lived there thought everyone should be taken out en then the block should be blown up, and the people who lived *near* the block just wanted it blown up.
Terry Pratchett, Johnny and the Dead
Is there some in-joke in the #discworld universe concerning "could of" and "should of" instead of "could have" and "should have"?
It's wrecking my head! This spelling is only ever used in reported speech.
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
Started reading a #Discworld novel for the first time thinking it was #Ringworld. I feel it's like mixing up #StarTrek & #StarWars.
Will continue the Discworld book.
“Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.”

"You can think and you can fight, but the world's always movin', and if you wanna stay ahead you gotta dance."

1. Visit a foreign capital.
2. Wear a #Discworld #UnseenUniversity #AnkhMorpork tee-shirt.
3. Get hailed by a twentysomething complete stranger with a resounding "Hey, coolest tee-shirt!"
4. Profit from the happy thought of yet someone else being a #Pratchett fan.
“His job was to make sense of the world, and there were times when he wished that the world would meet him halfway.”

One of the universal rules of happiness is: always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual.

"Fate always wins. Most of the gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until it's too late that he's been using two queens all along."
- Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times
It's been too long. I just adore Pratchett's writing style.

“One should always be wary of people who talk unashamedly of ‘fellowship and good cheer’ as if it were something that can be applied to life like a poultice. Turn your back for a moment and they may well organize a Maypole dance and, frankly, there’s no option then but to try and make it to the treeline.”
