Terry Pratchett Quotes

Note For Americans And Other City-dwelling Life-forms: The Rural British, Having Eschewed Central Heating As Being Far Too Complicated And In Any Case Weakening Moral Fiber, Prefer A System Of Piling Small Pieces Of Wood And Lumps Of Coal, Topped By Large, Wet Logs, Possibly Made Of Asbestos, Into Small, Smoldering Heaps, Known As "There's Nothing Like A Roaring Open Fire Is There?" Since None Of These Ingredients Are Naturally Inclined To Burn, Underneath All This They Apply A Small, Rectangular, Waxy White Lump, Which Burns Cheerfully Until The Weight Of The Fire Puts It Out. These Little White Blocks Are Called Firelighters. No One Knows Why.
