"Multiple exclamation marks," he went on, shaking his head, "are a sure sign of a diseased mind."

-- Something that Terry feels strongly about, because a similar quote also appears in "Reaper Man" (Terry Pratchett, Eric)

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

Terry Pratchett "The Light Fantastic"


"Or, at least, one-tenth of the cabin trunks were full of vivid and often painful and uncomfortable memories of her past life; the other nine-tenths were full of penguins, which suprised her. Insofar as she recognized at all that she was dreaming, she realized she must be exploring her own subconscious mind. She had heard it said that humans are supposed to use only about a tenth of their brains, and that no one was very clear what the other nine tenths were for, but she certainly never heard it suggested that they were used for storing penguins."

Douglas Adams, "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul"
