More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I thought it very strange, and very sad, that the fairy kingdom largely appears to be English. I thought it was time for some regional representation. And the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they're like tiny little Scottish Smurfs who have seen Braveheart altogether too many times.
Terry Pratchett
The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.
Terry Pratchett
Progress just means bad things happen faster.

Terry Pratchett
The labyrinth of Ephebe is ancient and full of one hundred and one amazing things you can do with hidden springs, razor-sharp knives, and falling rocks.
Terry Pratchett
You have so many sources to draw on when you're a fantasy writer.
Terry Pratchett
And gears, said Anathema. My bike didn't have gears. I'm sure my bike didn't have gears. Crowley leaned over to the angel. Oh lord, heal this bike, he whispered sarcastically. I'm sorry, I just got carried away, hissed Aziraphale.
Terry Pratchett
It must be hard for humans, forever floundering through inconvenient geography. Humans are always lost. It's a basic characteristic. It explains a lot about them.
Terry Pratchett
They felt, in fact, tremendously bucked-up, which was how Lady Ramkin would almost certainly have put it and which was definitely several letters of the alphabet away from how they normally felt.
Terry Pratchett
She was already learning that if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you.
Terry Pratchett
Ninety percent of most magic merely consists of knowing one extra fact.
Terry Pratchett
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
Terry Pratchett
God does not play games with His loyal servants, said the Metatron, but in a worried tone of voice. Whooo-eee, said Crowley. Where have you been?
Terry Pratchett
Matter exploded into being, apparently as chaos, but in fact as a chord. The ultimate power chord.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes you had to take a look at yourself and then look away.
