More quotes by Terry Pratchett
When people say clearly something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all.
Terry Pratchett
And what would humans be without love? Rare, said Death.
Terry Pratchett
Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,' the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
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
Balance. It was all about balance. That had been one of the first things that she had learned: the centre of the seesaw has neither up nor down, but upness and downness flow through it while it remains unmoved.

Terry Pratchett
This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing things is magical, if other people don't know them.
Terry Pratchett
It is said that whomsoever the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. In fact, whomsoever the gods wish to destroy, they first hand the equivalent of a stick with a fizzing fuse and Acme Dynamite Company written on the side. It's more interesting, and doesn't take so long.
Terry Pratchett
A weapon you held and didn't know how to use belonged to your enemy.
Terry Pratchett
The significant owl hoots in the night.
Terry Pratchett
The female mind is certainly a devious one, my lord. Vetinari looked at his secretary in surprise. Well, of course it is. It has to deal with the male one.
Terry Pratchett
Raise the stakes! Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.
Terry Pratchett
SOONER OR LATER ALL MEN MUST DIE. EVERYTHING DIES IN THE END. I CAN BE ROBBED BUT NEVER DENIED, I TOLD MYSELF. WHY WORRY? “I too cannot be cheated,” snapped Fate.
Terry Pratchett
There was no himself in himself.
Terry Pratchett
The point of page one is to make people turn to page two and if at the end of the book people think that the book was good value for money, you have achieved something, because if you haven't achieved those things you're not going to achieve the other thing.
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
You'll see! We're going to the palace. Fetch Angua. We might need her. And bring the search warrant. You mean the sledgehammer, sir? Yes.
Terry Pratchett
Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.
Terry Pratchett
Ach, people are always telling us not to do things said Rob Anybody, that's how we ken the most interesting things to do.
Terry Pratchett
It's a sword. said the Hogfather. They're not meant to be safe.
