Terry PratchettThe universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. There is in truth no past, only a memory of the past.

The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.
Terry PratchettMonsters are getting more uppity, too (...) I heard where this guy, he killed this monster in this lake, no problem, stuck its arm up over the door (...) and you know what?
