“The road to hell is paved with good intentions. (This is not actually true. The raid to Hell is paved with frozen door-to-door salesmen. On weekends, many of the younger demons go ice skating down it.)”
Terry Pratchett, Good Omens
“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
Terry Pratchett, Good Omens
“Tompkins thumbed another paint pellet into the gun and muttered business mantras to himself. Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You. Kill or Be Killed. Either Shit or Get Out of the Kitchen. Survival of the Fittest. Make My Day.”
Terry Pratchett, Good Omens
“I don't see what's so terrific about creating people as people and then getting upset 'cause they act like people", said Adam severely. "Anyway If you stop telling people it's all sorted out after they're dead they might try sorting it out while they're alive. If I was in charge I'd try making people live a lot longer like old Methuselah.”
Terry Pratchett, Good Omens
“Look, you know I´m right. You´d be as happy with a harp as I´d be with a pitchfork."
"You know we don´t play harps."
"And we don´t use pitchforks. I was being rethorical.”
Neil Gaiman, Good Omens
