Terry Pratchett
All property is theft, except mine.
Terry Pratchett
The key to winning, as always, was looking as if you had every right, nay, duty to be where you were. It helped if you could also suggest in every line of your body that no one else had any rights to be doing anything, anywhere, whatsoever.
Terry Pratchett
Every step is a first step if it's a step in the right direction.
Terry Pratchett
Raise the stakes! Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.
Terry Pratchett
Witches were a bit like cats. They didn’t much like one another’s company, but they did like to know where all the other witches were, just in case they needed them.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way. It's good for the hygiene of the brain.
Terry Pratchett
Truth! Freedom! Justice! And a hard-boiled egg!
