More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get out.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing things is magical, if other people don't know them.
Terry Pratchett
After a while, another voice said: One, two, three, four- And the universe came into being. It was wrong to call it a big bang. That would just be noise, and all that noise could create is more noise and a cosmos full of random particles. Matter exploded into being, apparently as chaos, but in fact as a chord. The ultimate power chord.
Terry Pratchett
If you don't turn your life into a story, you just become a part of someone else's story.
Terry Pratchett
One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
Terry Pratchett
Tourist, Rincewind decided, meant ‘idiot.
Terry Pratchett
The Kraken stirs. And ten billion sushi dinners cry out for vengeance.
Terry Pratchett
Rings try to find their way back to their owner. Someone ought to write a book about it.
Terry Pratchett
Lord Vetinari lifted an eyebrow with the care of one who, having found a piece of caterpillar in his salad, raises the rest of the lettuce.
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
Sometimes you can think that 'I've had enough of wizards!' And sometimes fantasy is not just about wizards.
Terry Pratchett
Vimes's lack of interest in other people's children was limitless.
Terry Pratchett
Granny sighed. You have learned something, she said, and thought it safe to insert a touch of sternness into her voice. They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind could scream for mercy in nineteen languages, and just scream in another forty-four.
Terry Pratchett
Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like 'his mighty steed was as fleet as the wind on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three,' and any loose talk about a beloved having a face that launched a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed look like a bottle of champagne.
Terry Pratchett
A hardback's harder at Christmas time because that's a good hardback buying time.
Terry Pratchett
History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time.
Terry Pratchett
The characters are the plot. What they do and say and the things that happen to them are, in a sense, what the plot is. You can't take character and plot apart from each other, really.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble with life was that you didn’t get a chance to practice before doing it for real.
Terry Pratchett
Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.
Terry Pratchett
