More quotes by Terry Pratchett
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
Terry Pratchett
I particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I'd lay my cards down on that, and say that it's that that I'm trying to do.
Terry Pratchett
The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.
Terry Pratchett
Few things are hidden from a quiet child with good eyesight.
Terry Pratchett
I would advise budding writers some other kind of job, unless they think they're very, very lucky.

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum amount of moo.
Terry Pratchett
This looks like a job for inadvisably applied magic if ever I saw one.
Terry Pratchett
In defiance of Miss Maccalariat I'd like to commit hanky-panky with you, Miss Adora Belle Dearheart... well, certainly hanky, and possibly panky when we get to know one another better.
Terry Pratchett
I'm trying to remember how you tell the time by looking at the sun. -I should leave it for a while, it's too bright to see the numbers at the moment.
Terry Pratchett
Ultimately, there is the freedom to take the consequences.
Terry Pratchett
You know I've never agreed with baths. Sittin' around in your own dirt like that.
Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax was not a good loser. From her point of view, losing was something that happened to other people.
Terry Pratchett
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Terry Pratchett
Other people salted away money for their old age, but Nanny preferred to accumulate memories.
