Terry Pratchett Quotes

Glint, Glisten, Glitter, Gleam ...
Tiffany Thought A Lot About Words, In The Long Hours Of Churning Butte. Onomatopoetic , She'd Discovered In The Dictionary, Meant Words That Sounded Like The Thing They Were Describing, Like Cuckoo. But She Thought There Should Be A Word That Sounds Like The Noise A Thing Would Make If That Thing Made A Noise Even Though, Actually, It Doesn't, But Would If It Did.
Glint, For Example. If Light Made A Noise As It Reflected Off A Distant Window, It'd Go Glint!And The Light Of Tinsel, All Those Little Glints Chiming Together, Would Make A Noise Like Glitterglitter. Gleam Was A Clean, Smooth Noise From A Surface That Intended To Shine All Day. And Glisten Was The Soft, Almost Greasy Sound Of Something Rich And Oily.
