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

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together and hope.
Terry Pratchett
I've got wide tastes, but I don't like jazz.
Terry Pratchett
He sighed. It had come to this. He was a responsible authority, and people could use terms like core values at him with impunity.
Terry Pratchett
You had to deal every day with people who were foolish and lazy and untruthful and downright unpleasant, and you could certainly end up thinking that the world would be considerably improved if you gave them a slap.
Terry Pratchett
I must have read every issue of 'Punch' published in the 20th century, and I think in the process I picked up the true voice of English humour - that amiable, fairly liberal, laconic voice which you find in something like 'Three Men in a Boat.'
Terry Pratchett
Personally, I think the best motto for an educational establishment is: 'Or Would You Rather Be a Mule?'
Terry Pratchett
I once absent-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce.
Terry Pratchett
A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.
Terry Pratchett
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods they have not forgotten this.
