Terry Pratchett
“He put more effort into avoiding work than most people put into hard labor.”
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

Kōji Suzuki
“Only when he was conducting an autopsy could he forget the death of his beloved son. Ironically, playing with dead bodies released him from the death that had touched him.”
Koji Suzuki, Spiral

Kōji Suzuki
“modern science hasn’t managed to come up with answers to any of the most basic questions. How did life first appear on earth? How does evolution work? Is it a series of random events, or does it have a set teleological direction? There are all kinds of theories, but we haven’t been able to prove one of them. The structure of the atom is not a miniature of the solar system, it’s something much more difficult to grasp, full of what you might call latent power. And when we try to observe the subatomic world, we find that the mind of the observer comes into play in subtle ways. The mind, my friend! The very same mind which, ever since Descartes, proponents of the mechanistic view of the universe considered subordinate to the body-machine. And now we find that the mind influences observed results. So I give up. Nothing surprises me. I’m prepared to accept anything that happens in this world. I actually kind of envy people who can still believe in the omnipotence of modern science.”
Koji Suzuki, Spiral

Terry Pratchett
“...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.”
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures

Terry Pratchett
“Being trampled almost to death by a preoccupied troll is almost the ideal cure for a person confused about what is real and what isn’t. Reality is something walking heavily up your spine.”
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures
