Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.
Terry Pratchett
I do not in fact use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people's memories for a while.
Terry Pratchett
You know, you're rather amusingly wrong.
Terry Pratchett
Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
Terry Pratchett
I may be daft but I'm no' stupid!
Terry Pratchett
If I knew that I could die, I would live. My life, my death, my choice.

Terry Pratchett
Everyone is reading what they like and that's a good thing.
Terry Pratchett
There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - I'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
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
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
Either all days are holy or none are.
Terry Pratchett
Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended. And this is all very natural and organic and in tune with mysterious cycles of the cosmos, which believes that there's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fiber and, in some cases, backbone.
Terry Pratchett
