Letitia! What a name. Halfway between a salad and a sneeze.
Terry Pratchett
Find the story, Granny Weatherwax always said. She believed that the world was full of story shapes. If you let them, they controlled you. But if you studied them, if you found out about them... you could use them, you could change them.
Terry Pratchett
Last night there seemed to be a chance. Anything was possible last night. That was the trouble with last nights. They were always followed by this mornings.
Terry Pratchett
A hardback's harder at Christmas time because that's a good hardback buying time.
Terry Pratchett
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.
Terry Pratchett
There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.
Terry Pratchett
Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.
Terry Pratchett
HOROSCOPE: Today is a good time for making new friends. A good deed may have unforeseen consequences. Don’t upset any druids. You will soon be going on a very strange journey. Your lucky food is small cucumbers. People pointing knives at you are probably up to no good. PS, we really mean it about the druids.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, well...up until now it had been a good day, in a horrible kind of way.
Terry Pratchett
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but her's curiosity could have massacred a pride of lions.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind could scream for mercy in nineteen languages, and just scream in another forty-four.
Terry Pratchett
There was a man and he had eight sons. Apart from that, he was nothing more than a comma on the page of History. It's sad, but that's all you can say about some people.
Terry Pratchett
Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out til too late that he's been playing with two queens all along.
Terry Pratchett
Stand before your god, bow before your king, kneel before your man.
Terry Pratchett
Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often students, for heaven's sake.
Terry Pratchett
Are you a philosopher? Where's your sponge?
Terry Pratchett
I think, he said, I think, if you want thousands, you have to fight for one.
Terry Pratchett
I must confess the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occurred to him.
Terry Pratchett
It’s quite easy to accidentally overhear people talking downstairs if you hold an upturned glass to the floorboards and accidentally put your ear to it.
Terry Pratchett
People's whole lives do pass in front of their eye before they die. The process is called Living.
Terry Pratchett
