Quotes From "A Slip Of The Keyboard: Collected Nonfiction" By Terry Pratchett

1
You want fantasy? Here's one.. There's this species that lives on a planet a few miles above molten rock and a few miles below a vacuum that'd suck the air right out of them. They live in a brief geological period between ice ages, when giant asteroids have temporarily stopped smacking into the surface. As far as they can tell, there's nowhere else in the universe where they could stay alive for ten seconds. And what do they call their fragile little slice of space and time? They call it real life. Terry Pratchett
2
Far more beguiling than the idea that evil can be destroyed by throwing a piece of expensive jewelry into a volcano is the possibility that evil can be defused by talking. The fantasy of justice is more interesting than the fantasy of fairies, and more truly fantastic. Terry Pratchett

Before you can kill the monster you have to say its name. Terry Pratchett
