Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
5.0
“Against one perfect moment, the centuries beat in vain.”
“The wise man does not seek enlightenment, he waits for it."
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
“Sometimes I really think people ought to have to pass a proper exam before they're allowed to be parents. Not just the practical, I mean.”
“Look, that's why there's rules, understand? So that you think before you break 'em.”
“The thing is, I mean, there’s times when you look at the universe and you think, “What about me?” and you can just hear the universe replying, “Well, what about you?” ”
“When you look into the abyss, it’s not supposed to wave back.”
“Sometimes thinking is like talking to another person, but that person is also you.”
“They were learning fast, or at least collecting data, which they considered to be the same as learning.”
“It makes you wonder if there is anything to astrology after all.’ ‘Oh, there is,’ said Susan. ‘Delusion, wishful thinking and gullibility.”
“The only appropriate state of the heart is joy."
“If you told humans what the future held, it wouldn't.”
