      Drop your favourate Sir Terry Pratchett quote.

      I’ll go first:

      Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.

      There’s an ace one about dreams and working hard.

      If you trust in yourself and believe in your dreams and follow your star, you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy.

        That’s a good one.

        I’m gonna go read The Wee Free Men again RN IRL.

      There’s one I quote quite a lot. I’d forgotten it was a Pratchettism.

      Give a man a fire and he’s warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.

      The quote is from Jingo I think.

      It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

      The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they’ve found it.

      Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.

      I found it on a quotes site during lockdown. I made it my mantra for perseverance.
