Terry Pratchett

Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out til too late that he's been playing with two queens all along.

You have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that's going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

It's true - women want the fantasy. So give them romance - but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.

I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.

My toys were those of a boy: skates, bicycles.
