I just realised that I can sum up my philosophy on behaviour by paraphrasing Granny Weatherwax:

Don't treat people as things.

It's that simple.

I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* TURN UP ONLY ONCE.

Perdita thought that not obeying rules was somehow *cool*. Agnes thought that rules like "Don't fall into this huge pit of spikes" were there for a purpose.

'Lord?'

“We were Dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless, and teeeible. But this much I can tell you, you ape, we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality”

There is always a paragraph that causes you to pause in Sir Terrys work.

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"

I DON'T CARE WHAT IT SAYS, said the tall biker in the helmet, I NEVER LAID A FINGER ON HIM.

Time for a confession: almost one year ago, I went to get a #GNUTerryPratchett inspired tattoo.
All good, except I noticed a design hanging on the wall, that I kinda suspected was O9A's enneagram.
My mind was on something else, though, so I left it at it.

For whatever reason, it just popped into my mind, and I checked and yes, it was that indeed.

And now I feel like I should go back to the tattoo parlor and ask them who got it, and proceed to denounce the motherfucking psycho Nazi right away.
