More quotes by Terry Pratchett
She wore so much thick white makeup in order to conceal her naturally rosy complexion that if she turned around suddenly her face would probably end up on the back of her head.
Terry Pratchett
She was also, by the standards of other people, lost. She would not see it like that. She knew where she was, it was just that everywhere else didn't.
Terry Pratchett
There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write.
Terry Pratchett
Belief is one of the most powerful organic forces in the multiverse. It may not be able to move mountains, exactly. But it can create someone who can. People get exactly the wrong idea about belief. They think it works back to front. They think the sequence is, first object, then belief. In fact, it works the other way.
Terry Pratchett
You can't second-guess ineffability, I always say.
Terry Pratchett
People's whole lives do pass in front of their eye before they die. The process is called Living.
Terry Pratchett
Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!
Terry Pratchett
Shoes, men, coffins never accept the first one you see.
Terry Pratchett
No one remembers the singer. The song remains.
Terry Pratchett
One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
Terry Pratchett
People are often so busy living that they never stop to wonder why.
Terry Pratchett
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but her's curiosity could have massacred a pride of lions.
Terry Pratchett
The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.
Terry Pratchett
Fantasy doesn't have to be fantastic. American writers in particular find this much harder to grasp. You need to have your feet on the ground as much as your head in the clouds. The cute dragon that sits on your shoulder also craps all down your back, but this makes it more interesting because it gives it an added dimension.
Terry Pratchett
Any fool could be a witch with a runic knife, but it took skill to be one with an apple corer.
Terry Pratchett
It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country, he read. This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.
Terry Pratchett
Life is just chemicals. A drop here, a drip there, everything's changed. A mere dribble of fermented juices and sudenlly you're going to live another few hours.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, well...up until now it had been a good day, in a horrible kind of way.
Terry Pratchett
Cake is not the issue here.
Terry Pratchett
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.
