Some people are confident because they are fools. Leonard had the look of someone who was confident because, so far, he'd never found a reason not to be.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
Humans need fantasy to be human. Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act, like there was some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged:Yes. But people have got to believe that or what's the point?My point exactly.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
I'm not really good at fun-to-know, human interest stuff. We're not 'celebrities', whose life itself is a performance. Good or bad or ugly, we are our words. They're what people meet.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
I know three people who have got better after a brain tumour. I haven't heard of anyone who's got better from Alzheimer's.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
I do not, in fact, use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people's memories for a while.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
Seven hundred thousand people who have dementia in this country are not heard. I'm fortunate; I can be heard. Regrettably, it's amazing how people listen if you stand up in public and give away $1 million for research into the disease, as I have done.
Quote by -Terry Pratchett
I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake. More wonderful was that a load of evolved monkeys got together to save the life of a child that wasn't theirs.
