Terry Pratchett
“Witches are naturally nosy,â€� said Miss Tick, standing up. “Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though.â€�
“Will it cost me anything?�
“What? I just said it was free!� said Miss Tick.
“Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive,� said Tiffany.
Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,� she said, “Are you listening?�
“Yes,� said Tiffany.
“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...�
â€Ô¨±ð²õ?â€�
�...and believe in your dreams...�
â€Ô¨±ð²õ?â€�
�...and follow your star...� Miss Tick went on.
â€Ô¨±ð²õ?â€�
â€�...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

Bill Bryson
“My particular dread--the vivid possibility that left me staring at tree shadows on the bedroom ceiling night after night--was having to lie in a small tent, alone in an inky wilderness, listening to a foraging bear outside and wondering what its intentions were. I was especially riveted by an amateur photograph in Herrero's book, taken late at night by a camper with a flash at a campground out West. The photograph caught four black bears as they puzzled over a suspended food bag. The bears were clearly startled but not remotely alarmed by the flash. It was not the size or demeanor of the bears that troubled me--they looked almost comically nonaggressive, like four guys who had gotten a Frisbee caught up a tree--but their numbers. Up to that moment it had not occurred to me that bears might prowl in parties. What on earth would I do if four bears came into my camp? Why, I would die, of course. Literally shit myself lifeless. I would blow my sphincter out my backside like one of those unrolling paper streamers you get at children's parties--I daresay it would even give a merry toot--and bleed to a messy death in my sleeping bag.”
Bill Bryson, A Walk in The Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

Anne Frank
“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”
Anne Frank

Terry Pratchett
“Them as can do has to do for them as can't. And someone has to speak up for them as has no voices.”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

Douglas Adams
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
