If you haven't read at least the best quotations of Terry Pratchett, you're missing out, IMHO

Terry Pratchett Quotes
Do you have a favorite? Please post it, with optional comments as to why it resonates with you.
Here's one, for example (and perhaps it reminds you of someone you know?):
Quote:
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who's been pinching my beer?
And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.
