More From Terry Pratchett
- "Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages."
- "I’ve always felt that what I have going for me is not my imagination, because everyone has an imagination. What I have is a relentlessly controlled imagination. What looks like wild invention is actually quite carefully calculated."
- "I am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost."

- "We regard intelligence as man’s main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate."― Henri Bergson
- "There’s a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, ‘Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?’, and they’re finding out that, no, it’s not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we’re much more of an organic creature in that way."― Joel Kinnaman
- "George Tenet has been the director of central intelligence since 1997, time enough to have changed the Agency’s culture. He has failed. He should go."― Richard Perle
