People aren't just people, they are people surrounded by circumstances.
Terry Pratchett
This is where the gods play games with the lives of men, on a board which is at one and the same time a simple playing area and the whole world. And Fate always wins.
Terry Pratchett
Everywhere's been where it is ever since it was first put there. It's called geography.

Terry Pratchett
All was black, gloomy and awful. There was no light at the end of the tunnel - or if there was, it was an oncoming train.
Terry Pratchett
I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all, they wanted to bring money into the state, not merely circulate it.
Terry Pratchett
The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.
Terry Pratchett
If Not You, Who Else?
Terry Pratchett
So let's not get frightened when the children read fantasy. It's the compost for a healthy mind. It stimulate s the inquisitive nodes, and there is some evidence that a rich internal fantasy life is as good and necessary for a child as healthy soil is for a plant, for much the same reasons.
Terry Pratchett
People who didn't need people needed people around to know that they were the kind of people who didn't need people.
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
Occasionally he would very nearly swear.
Terry Pratchett
