More From Terry Pratchett

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

"god is a spirit." but that does not make him an immaterial being —a being that has no properties in common with matter. the expression "an immaterial being," is a contradiction in terms. immateriality is only another name for nothing. it is the negative of all existence. a "spirit" is as much matter as oxygen or hydrogen.

She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.

To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. to say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. i cannot reason otherwise: but i believe i am supported in my creed of materialism by locke, tracy, and stewart. at what age of the christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, i do not know. but heresy it certainly is.

We are not compelled in naturalism, or even in materialism, to ignore immaterial things; the point is that any immaterial things which are recognized shall be regarded as names, aspects, functions, or concomitant products of those physical things among which action goes on.

She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. she looks great in cheap sunglasses, she looks great in anything. she's, "i want a piece of chocolate cake; take me to a movie." she's a, "i can't find a thing to wear." now and then she's moody. she's a saturn with a sunroof with her brown hair blowing. she's a warm conversation i wouldn't miss for nothing. she's a fighter when she's mad and she's a lover when she's lovin'.

A first principle not formally recognized by scientific methodologists: when you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.

Oh, thou did'st then ne'er love so heartily. if thou rememb'rest not the slightest folly that ever love did make thee run inot, thou has not loved. of if thou has't not sat as i do now, wearying they hearer in thy mistress's praise, thou has not loved. of if thou hast not broke from company abruptly, as my passion now makes me, thou has not loved. (silvius)

Time doth run with calm and silent foot, shortening my days and thread of vital life.

Inequality also distorts our democracy. it gives an outsized voice to the few who can afford high-priced lobbyists and unlimited campaign contributions, and runs the risk of selling out our democracy to the highest bidder. and it leaves everyone else rightly suspicious that the system in washington is rigged against them - that our elected representatives aren't looking out for the interests of most americans.
