They act as if the human world is one they just happened to have stopped off in, on their way to somewhere that is possibly a whole lot more interesting.” Terry Pratchett; The Unadulterated Cat #Caturday #HappyCaturday #CatsOfMastadon 🐈🐈‍⬛😻🐾💖

  “It’s a sad and terrible thing that high-born folk really have thought that the servants would be totally fooled if spirits were put into decanters that were cunningly labelled backwards.

  “Mr. Tulip was not, as he appeared to the rest of the world, just another nut job. Some negative qualities can reach a pitch of perfection that changes their very nature, and Mr. Tulip had turned anger into an art. It was not anger at anything. It was just pure, platonic anger from somewhere in the reptilian depths of the soul, a fountain of never-ending red-hot grudge” Terry Pratchett; The Truth #Discworld #TheRageThatIsTrump
