More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Given enough coffee I could rule the world
Terry Pratchett
The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.
Terry Pratchett
She was a beefy young woman and, whatever piece of music she was playing, it was definitely losing.
Terry Pratchett
One of the things forgotten about the human spirit is that while it is, in the right conditions, noble and brave and wonderful, it is also, when you get right down to it, only human.
Terry Pratchett
An Assassin, a real Assassin had to look like one-black clothes, hood, boots, and all. If they could wear any clothes, any disguise, then what could anyone do but spend all day in a small room with a loaded crossbow pointed at the door?
Terry Pratchett
Look, that's why there's rules, understand? So that you think before you break 'em.
Terry Pratchett
They can ta'k our lives but they can never ta'k our freedom!' Now there's a battle cry not designed by a clear thinker
Terry Pratchett
Words are the litmus paper of the mind.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon -- he'd run them all.
Terry Pratchett
If there's one thing that really annoys a god, it's not knowing something.
Terry Pratchett
Now that their long war was over, they could get on with the proper concern of all civilised nations, which is to prepare for the next one.
Terry Pratchett
Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it's all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place.
Terry Pratchett
The most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendents not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships, or being patronised by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it.
Terry Pratchett
And then you bit onto them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.
Terry Pratchett
It's not morbid to talk about death. Most people don't worry about death, they worry about a bad death.
Terry Pratchett
Bill Door was impressed. Miss Flitworth could actually give the word revenue, which had two vowels and one diphthong, all the peremptoriness of the word scum.
Terry Pratchett
The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it.
Terry Pratchett
And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based.
Terry Pratchett
The mountains of madness have many little plateau of sanity.
Terry Pratchett
The librarians were mysterious. It was said they could tell what book you needed just by looking at you, and they could take your voice away with a word.
Terry Pratchett
