Quotes from Terry Pratchett's books :

"When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of events -- the oil spilled just there, the safety fence broke just there -- that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous."

"'I always live in interestin' times,' said Cohen, in the satisfied voice of someone who did a lot to keep them interesting."

Butterfly: 'But there are causes worth dying for!'

Rincewind: 'No, there aren't! Because you've only got one life but you can pick up another five causes on any street corner!'

Butterfly: 'Good grief, how can you live with a philosophy like that?'

Rincewind: 'Continuously!'

This one really got me thinking :

Saveloy: 'What do you call the things that grind corn?'

Beneficient Winds: 'Peasants.'

Saveloy: 'Yes, but what do they grind corn with?'

Beneficient Winds: 'I don't know. Why should I know? Only peasants need to know that.'

Saveloy: 'Yes, I suppose that says it all, really.'

Do you know how to sweep a floor? do you know how to work a cash register? do you know how to drive a forklift truck?

Says it all, doesn't it?
