More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Creatures which, lacking mankind's superior brain power, did not concern themselves with finding someone to blame, and instead tried to find someone to eat.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.
Terry Pratchett
You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise. I mean, all you could do is give them a meaningful look.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
But that was just it - hate was exactly the right word. Hate is a force of attraction. Hate is just love with its back turned.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I thought unicorns were more . . . Fluffy.
Terry Pratchett
That's what I don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!
Terry Pratchett
Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended.
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
It's a guilty secret of a lot of writers, as you get older you don't read as much fiction as you used to, mainly because it's like you are deconstructing it all the time.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
There is no doubt that being human is incredibly difficult and cannot be mastered in one lifetime.
Terry Pratchett
No one thinks that young adults read hooks for YOUNG ADULTS, books for young adults are read by kids.
Terry Pratchett
Don't do anything I wouldn't do, if you ever find anything I wouldn't do.
Terry Pratchett
Putting up a statue to someone who tried to stop a war is not very, um, statuesque. Of course, if you had butchered five hundred of your own men out of arrogant carelessness, we'd be melting the bronze already.
Terry Pratchett
You know, you're rather amusingly wrong.
Terry Pratchett
What's a philosopher?' said Brutha. Someone who's bright enough to find a job with no heavy lifting,' said a voice in his head.
Terry Pratchett
Or -- and this she knew was a far more accurate way of looking at it -- the book was true and reality was lying.
Terry Pratchett
