“These people were not only cheering, they were throwing flowers and hats. The hats were made of stone, but the thought was there.” ― Terry Pratchett

"It wasn't exactly whiskey, and it wasn't exactly gin, but it was exactly 90° proof, and a great comfort during those worrying moments that sometimes occurred around 3 a.m. when you woke up and forgot who you were." - Terry Pratchett

“Fear is strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.” ― Terry Pratchett

“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.” ―Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) From “Jingo” (Discworld #21)#writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #terrypratchett The line is a perfect piece of Pratchett black comedy because it hijacks the structure of a familiar proverb and then drives it straight into a wall. It begins with the rhythm of practical wisdom, so the reader expects a lesson about self-reliance or useful knowledge. Instead, the second half swerves into absurd brutality. That sudden reversal is what makes it funny. It exposes how easily the polished shape of a proverb can be preserved while the meaning is turned completely upside down. Under the joke is a broader point about language, wit, and the sideways thinking Pratchett loved. The quote mocks the solemn confidence of traditional sayings by showing that clever phrasing alone does not equal wisdom. It also fits the Discworld habit of using humor to reveal how people rely on formulas, clichés, and handed-down truths without always thinking about them. The line lasts because it is both ridiculous and razor sharp: a joke about fire, but also a joke about how humans package advice.

“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.”
―Terry Pratchett (1948-2015)

“People were strange like that. Steal five dollars and you were a petty thief. Steal thousands of dollars and you were either a government or a hero.” ― Terry Pratchett

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

Carved one of my all time favorite quotes by #terrypratchett into a small sign for my office/library.

Reflexiones sobre Terry Pratchett, la crueldad y el humanismo pragmático en Discworld En el undécimo aniversario de la muerte de Terry Pratchett, el ensayo reflexiona sobre la vigencia de su obra y su particular forma de humanismo pragmático. Pratchett no solo creó mundos imaginarios llenos de fantasía en Discworld, sino que desarrolló una filosofía ética centrada en la comprensión de la crueldad, la ironía y la solidaridad. Su obra demuestra cómo conceptos tradicionalmente considerados absolutos, como la divinidad, el destino o la justicia, son en realidad construcciones humanas, reflejando la contingencia y la fragilidad de nuestras creencias. El texto también analiza la banalidad del mal y la crueldad como elemento político, destacando cómo la deshumanización y la normalización de la violencia son herramientas de control y cohesión en sociedades autoritarias, usando ejemplos contemporáneos como el auge de Trump 2.0 y la ideología MAGA. La reflexión se centra en cómo Pratchett veía el respeto hacia los demás como piedra angular de la moralidad, ilustrado por personajes como Granny Weatherwax, quien señala que el mal comienza cuando dejamos de ver a los demás como personas. La obra de Pratchett, cargada de humor, ironía y una profunda comprensión de la naturaleza humana, sigue siendo un faro para pensar sobre la ética, la política y la empatía en un mundo cada vez más complejo y cruel.

I've just finished a reread of Jingo by Terry Pratchett

First of all this is one instance where I enjoyed the new audio edition.

But most of all I'm so sorry we don't have Vimes to come and arrest the leaders of this war and Vetinarri to bamboozle everyone into a diplomatic solution […]

I'm rereading #TerryPratchett Color of Magic. I haven't read it since the 80s, when I was in highschool. I don't remember this cover. I'm doing a then and now critique review blog. When was the last time you read Disc World?📚💙🖖

Two images. Left: line sketch of Nobby Nobbs, member of the Ankh-Morpork city watch , a character from Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. 3/4 view, facing right. Grinning mischievously, cigarette in mouth, eyes looking left. Wearing guard helmet. Right: photo of English actor Marty Feldman [1934-1982]. 3/4 view, facing left. Mischievous grin, one eye looking left, one eye looking toward camera, wild curly hair.

I had a thought...
