More From Terry Pratchett

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

Being wild can be wearing a silly hat. being wild can be dancing weird. being wild can be shooting people. what do i think being wild is? nothing. actually, the whole world is wild. everything is wild.

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. but we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. i am not remotely interested in just being good.
Inspirational Knowing Perfect
All humans are essentially wild creatures and hate confinement. we need what is wild, and we thrill to it, our wildness bubbling over with an anarchic joie de vivre. we glint when the wild light shines. the more suffocatingly enclosed we are - tamed by television, controlled by mortgages and bureaucracy - the louder our wild genes scream in aggression, anger and depression.
Hate Light Shining
Love is not a hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. a wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild!
Weed Flower Sunshine

It is no disparagement to the garden to say it will not fence and weed itself, nor prune its own fruit trees, nor roll and cut its own lawns...it will remain a garden only if someone does all these things to it...if you want to see the difference between [the garden's] contribution and the gardener's, put the commonest weed it grows side by side with his hoes rakes, shears, and a packet of weed killer; you have put beauty, energy, and fecundity beside dead, steril things. just so, our 'decency and common sense' show grey and deathlike beside the geniality of love.
