Sir Terry Pratchett has such a wonderfully quirky sense of wording, I thought I'd like a spot to record some quotes that reflect things that are important to permaculture. They may be done from memory, so may not be precise - just close.

The Ramtops (mountains) have a lot of flat land. It's just it's vertical.

“Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'
-Kurt Vonnegut

We, his educated rodents.  ‘And yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world’. ‘Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point’? ‘My point exactly’.

I've had this one saved for awhile and no place to post it until now!
Somewhat distantly related to permaculture in my mind.....

"Do you think it's possible for an entire nation to be insane?"
Terry Pratchett,
Monstrous Regiment
(Discworld, #31; Industrial Revolution, #3)

"We're all just walking each other home." -Ram Dass
"Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder."-Rumi
"It's all one song!" -Neil Young
