This is space. it's sometimes called the final frontier. (except that of course you can't have a final frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier to, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate . . .)

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.

And the fear of not being is born in that space. but in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. we do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. this conflict, this torture, is not love. thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. in that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. he seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction.

High frontier places a bullet-proof vest on our bare chest. high frontier is as non-aggressive as a bullet-proof vest. there is no way to kill anyone with high frontier - all that high frontier can do is to keep others from killing us.

But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

We stand today on the edge of a new frontier - the frontier of the 1960's - a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils - a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done nothing you can sing that can't be sung. nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. it's easy. nothing you can make that can't be made. no one you can save that can't be saved. nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. it's easy. nothing you can know that isn't known. nothing you can see that isn't shown. nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. it's easy.

I can only sing songs my way. i don't know any other way.

I can destroy a dance floor. i think life should be a musical. i always hate it when people watch a musical and they go, 'oh, it's so unrealistic, no one just breaks into song in the middle of their day.' yeah, they do- if they're me.

We've got a great bench of songs, and the people have a really good time at our stereophonics's shows. people are the same all over the world. if we can play football stadiums and arenas in one country, there's no reason we can't play them in another country. people are people.

Poetry is not the opinion stated. it is a song that appears instead of a bloody wound or a smiling mouth.
