Terry Pratchett- Words of Wisdom

In the begining there was nothing, and it exploded.
(on the big bang theory)

[In the beginning there was nothing. God said, "Let there be light!" And there was light. There was still nothing but you could see it a whole lot better]


Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
(From Discworld )

An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
(From Hogfather)


The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
