If you're a great author and you're not mentioned here, you're not a great author. Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards because a refusal often offends, I read somewhere. - Terry Pratchett, Mort Does the walker choose the path, or the path, the walker? - Sabriel, by Garth Nix Don't try to out-weird me, three eyes. I get weirder things than you in my breakfast cereal. - Zaphod Beeblebrox, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galazy Even when reading is impossible, the presence of books acquired produces such and ecstasy that the buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity... we cherish books even if unread, their mere presence exudes comfort, their ready access, reassurance. - A.E. Newton Fifteen religions at least. That's a lot of religions for one God. - The Virginian (Owen Wilder) Go shake your ears. - Maria, Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players (*i.e., everybody), to being involving in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules and who /smiles all the time./ --Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet God kills, and so shall we indiscriminately He takes the richest and the poorest, and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves. - Lestat, Interview With The Vampire, Anne Rice. Hamlet (holding a skull): "This is Yorick, I can tell." Horatio: "Boy, you must have known him well." - Green Eggs and Hamlet" Her imagination was by habit ridiculously active when the door was not open, it jumped out of the window. - Henry James, Portrait of a Lady. I don't need parents. All I need is a recording that says, 'Go play outside!' - Calvin and Hobbes I thought I had a great idea today, but it never really took off. In fact, it didn't even get on the runway. I guess you could say it exploded in the hangar. - Calvin and Hobbes I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind. - Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte If I ever meet myself, I'll hit myself so hard I won't know what's hit me. - Zaphod Beeblebrox, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams In the course of a lifetime, what does it matter? In the real world, as in dreams, nothing is quite what it seems. - The Book of Sorrows In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. - The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. -Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice) It only makes sense that every facet of our daily lives should depend upon the position of celestial bodies hundreds of millions of miles away. - Calvin and Hobbes It startled him even more when just after he was awarded the Galactic Institute's Prize for Extreme Cleverness he got lynched by a rampaging mob of respectable physicists who had finally realized that the one thing they really couldn't stand was a smart ass. - The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows. - Terry Pratchet, The Color Of Magic Just because you have a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you should treat everyone else like a nail - Terry Pratchett, Only You Can Save Mankind Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'. - Rincewind Expaining Twoflower, Terry Pratchett, The Color Of Magic Life... loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it. - Marvin the Paranoid Android, Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy Go to page previous 1 2 3 4 next The folks who created Coolsig want to help you stop procrastinating and get more done in much less time.
