More From Terry Pratchett

I [...] vowed that rather than let alzheimer's take me, i would take it. i would live my life as ever to the full and die, before the disease mounted its last attack, in my own home, in a chair on the lawn, with a brandy in my hand to wash down whatever modern version of the "brompton cocktail" some helpful medic could supply. and with thomas tallis on my ipod, i would shake hands with death.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. you should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. if it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.

I didn't intend. the word "intend" is the wrong word for what i do. it's just that it's something you do, and you can't not do. if you want to do it, and you don't intend to, you do it anyway. the word "intend" is wrong. the word "pressure" is right. it's like any art form.

You're beautiful, but you're empty...one couldn't die for you. of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. but my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one i've watered. since she's the one i put under glass, since she's the one i sheltered behind the screen. since she's the one for whom i killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). since she's the one i listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. since she's my rose.

At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.

Similar Quotes

Find out what you really like if you can. find out what is really important to you. then sing your song. you will have something to sing about and your whole heart will be in the singing.

The woods were made for the hunters of dreams, the brooks for the fishers of song; to the hunters who hunt for the gunless game the streams and the woods belong.

I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures.

I think pain is the best feeling for song writing. you can write good happy songs, but i think the kind of bruiting, depressing ones are more effective. they are easier to write when i am impassioned and angry. it is a good way to channel that negative energy.
