ramoneando

Terry Pratchett

Imagination, not intelligence, made us human.

Everything makes sense a bit at a time. But when you try to think of it all at once, it comes out wrong.

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

I don't think I've found God, but I may have seen where gods come from.

Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example. Possibly because of this, I have never disliked religion. I think it has some purpose in our evolution. I don't have much truck with the "religion is the cause of most of our wars" school of thought because that is manifestly done by mad, manipulative and power-hungry men who cloak their ambition in God. I number believers of all sorts among my friends. Some of them are praying for me. I'm happy they wish to do this, I really am, but I think science may be a better bet.

Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel?
