Terry Pratchett : (5)

" I was a very keen reader of science fiction. " - Terry Pratchett

" There can be no better grounding for a lifetime as an author than to see humanity in all its various guises through the lens of the reporter for the town. " - Terry Pratchett

" I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop. " - Terry Pratchett

" Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That’s something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine. " - Terry Pratchett

" In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this – death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper. " - Terry Pratchett
