My idea of a good novel was one you made enough money out of to buy a greenhouse.
Terry Pratchett
I can't be talking to a tree. If I was talking to a tree I'd be mad, and I'm not mad, so trees can't talk.
Terry Pratchett
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a writer who's writing books, and therefore, I don't want to die. You'd miss the end of the book, wouldn't you? You can't die with an unfinished book.
Terry Pratchett
The sun rose slowly, as if it wasn't sure it was worth all the effort.

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I don't regret it, you know. I would do it all again. Children are our hope for the future. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, said Death. What does it contain, then? ME.
Terry Pratchett
I see evil when I look in my shaving mirror. It is, philosophically, present everywhere in the universe in order, apparently, to highlight the existence of good. I think there is more to this theory, but I tend to burst out laughing at this point.
Terry Pratchett
I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called 'The Truth'.
Terry Pratchett
Thou shalt not submit thy god to market forces.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes words need music too. Sometimes the descriptions are not enough. Books should be written with soundtracks, like films.
Terry Pratchett
Yes, sir, thank you, sir, and I wouldn’t trust me one little inch, sir. I knows a bad one when I sees them. I have a mirror.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
