More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Sometimes I feel that the world is made up of sensible people who know the plot and bloody idiots who don't.
Terry Pratchett
I'm not cruel, sir, I won't shoot you in the guts, but I will make you realize how much you took your toes for granted.
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
This time it had been magic. And it didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.
Terry Pratchett
WHERE'S MY COW? ARE YOU MY COW?
Terry Pratchett
Sooner or later we're all someone's dog.
Terry Pratchett
Go anywhere you wish, talk to everyone. Ask any questions you will be given answers. When you want to learn, you will be taught. Use the library. Open any book.
Terry Pratchett
There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.
Terry Pratchett
You know, you're rather amusingly wrong.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, there's plenty of reasons. I just don't know which one.
Terry Pratchett
Some people are heroes. And some people jot down notes.
Terry Pratchett
The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.
Terry Pratchett
My character - and for that matter my worst habits - could only be described by someone else. You can't open a box with the crowbar inside it.
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
I have to write because if I don't get something down then after a while I feel it's going to bang the side of my head off.
Terry Pratchett
She walked quickly through the darkness with the frank stride of someone who was at least certain that the forest, on this damp and windy night, contained strange and terrible things and she was it.
Terry Pratchett
As large as worlds. As old as Time. As patient as a brick.
Terry Pratchett
She was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful: something to be admired from a distance, not up close.
Terry Pratchett
People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it.
Terry Pratchett
Matter exploded into being, apparently as chaos, but in fact as a chord. The ultimate power chord.
Terry Pratchett
