Terry Pratchett Quote

That is because you don't yet know how to deal with time, said Wen. But I will teach you to deal with time as you would deal with a coat, to be worn when necessary and discarded when not.Will I have to wash it? said Clodpool.Wen gave him a long, slow look.That was either a very complex piece of thinking on your part, Clodpool, or you were just trying to overextend a metaphor in a rather stupid way. Which, do you think, it was?Clodpool looked at his feet. Then he looked at the sky. Then he looked at Wen.I think I am stupid, master.Good, said Wen. It is fortuitous that you are my apprentice at this time, because if I can teach you, Clodpool, I can teach anyone.
