Few authors have the comic genius of this man.
Allow me to share a few brilliant quotes from his works.
“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”
“It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it.”
“I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.”
“It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever," he said. "Have you thought of going into teaching?”
“The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it.”
“You can't map a sense of humor. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know that There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs. ”
These aren't even close to the best lines of his, either.
But I've been thinking aboot his stuff lately, and it's gotten to me.
