Quote by Terry Pratchett

“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.”

“In almost every life there is a moment where a choice is made that changes everything from that point on; the road not taken, the courage to speak up or remain silent in a face of a bully, the carrier chosen or abandoned, the decision and its effects are only apparent with time. And there is no way to go back and change it for better or worse, a life's course is set from that moment on.”

“English: "Not voting means choosing totality; voting for an empty envelope means choosing democracy, but none of the candidates adequately represent your views."
