More From E. M. Forster

It is singular how impatient men are with overpraise of others, how patient of overpraise of themselves; and yet the one does them no injury, while the other may be their ruin.

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

I'd say the purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because i think when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes. i think that after you see the movie, reading the book is a cool thing. i always say the movie's not meant to replace the book. that's ridiculous. i'm a huge fan of the book.

The thing is, 'discworld' had been going on for a very long time, and i've written children's books as well. usually when people have a really big series they franchise it, which i thought is a bit of a no-no, so i thought what i'd do is i'd franchise it to myself.

Everyone in my book accuses everyone else of being crazy. frankly, i think the whole society is nuts - and the question is: what does a sane man do in an insane society?
