Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?

We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again.

Ramakrishna

A man must know how to look before he can hope to see.

George R.R. Martin

The world rides through space on the back of a turtle. This is one of the great ancient world myths, found wherever men and turtles were gathered together; the four elephants were an Indo-European sophistication. The idea has been lying in the lumber rooms of legend for centuries. All I had to do was grab it and run away before the alarms went off.There are no maps. You can't map a sense of humour. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs.-Terry Pratchett sums up Discworld

Terry Pratchett

I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great.

There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating - people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

Oscar Wilde

It's getting better generally, daily, especially in TV, for women in acting and age and looks count less. As more women come into the business. Change of any sort takes a long time to happen.

Julie Walters

Ignorance is always afraid of change.

Jawaharlal Nehru

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress but I repeat myself.

Mark Twain
