Terry Pratchett
“It’s a popular fact that 90 percent of the brain is not used and, like most popular facts, it is wrong. . . . It is used. One of its functions is to make the miraculous seem ordinary, to turn the unusual into the usual. Otherwise, human beings, faced with the daily wondrousness of everything, would go around wearing a stupid grin, saying “Wow,” a lot. Part of the brain exists to stop this from happening.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Scott Lynch
“It must be nice to be righteous; from where I stand it looks like fucking lunacy.”
Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora

Warsan Shire
“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”
Warsan Shire

Terry Pratchett
“Yes, but humans are more important than animals,' said Brutha.
'This is a point of view often expressed by humans,' said Om.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Mathias Malzieu
“I don’t want there to be things you “love about me”, I want you to love “all of me”.”
Mathias Malzieu, La Mécanique du cœur
