More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Most witches don’t believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they don’t believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
The thing with crowns is, it isn't the putting them on that's the problem, it's the taking them off.
Terry Pratchett
People aren't just people, they are people surrounded by circumstances.
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
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
Whatever you choose, your choice will mean there are two new worlds. And perhaps sometimes, on the edge of sleep, we will see the shadow of the other world. There will be no unhappy memories.
Terry Pratchett
Its useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.
Terry Pratchett
