More From Terry Pratchett

If a thing is old, it is a sign that it was fit to live. old families, old customs, old styles survive because they are fit to survive. the guarantee of continuity is quality. submerge the good in a flood of the new, and good will come back to join the good which the new brings with it. old-fashioned hospitality, old-fashioned politeness, old-fashioned honor in business had qualities of survival. these will come back.
Business Style Survival
For the first time in her life granny wondered whether there might be something important in all these books people were setting store by these days, although she was opposed to books on strict moral grounds, since she had heard that many of them were written by dead people and therefore it stood to reason reading them would be as bad as necromancy. among the many things in the infinitely varied universe with which granny did not hold was talking to dead people, who by all accounts had enough troubles of their own.

As i said just now, the world has gone past me. i don't blame it; but i no longer understand it. tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. i am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as i remember it. i have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.

If a witch needs something, another witch will give it to her. if there is war to be fought, we don't consider cost one of the factors in deciding whether or not it is right to fight. nor do we have any notion of honor. an insult to a bear is a deadly thing. to us...inconceivable. how could you insult a witch? what would it matter if you did?

I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. and a wizard, which is a male version of a witch, is kind of revered, and people respect wizards. but a witch, my god, we have to burn them. it's the male chauvinistic society that we're living in for the longest time, 3,000 years or whatever. and so i just wanted to point out the fact that men and women are magical beings. we are very blessed that way, so i'm just bringing that out. don't be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.

I think the thing that i admire about rick santorum is that he hasn't backed down or apologized one bit for his personal religious views, for standing up for social conservative values.
Religious Thinking Views
A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. and sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people's hope.

Young people have been ill-educated, mis-educated, propagandized. i see it in everything i read written by young people. you can spot it a mile away, their ignorance. and it's coupled with they think they're the only people that know. they're arrogant. they're a little bit smarmy about what they think they know and nobody else does, which is a characteristic of young people anyway. i was that way when i was young.

I think we ought to have a new rule: you can ask two questions, and then we can pick the one we want to answer.
