Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
These weren't encouraged in the city, since the heft and throw of a longbow's arrow could send it through an innocent bystander a hundred yards away instead of the innocent bystander at whom it was aimed.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I can't be talking to a tree. If I was talking to a tree I'd be mad, and I'm not mad, so trees can't talk.
Terry Pratchett
Time was something that largely happened to other people he viewed it in the same way that people on the shore viewed the sea. It was big and it was out there, and sometimes it was an invigorating thing to dip a toe into, but you couldn't live in it all the time. Besides, it always made his skin wrinkle.
Terry Pratchett
Ninety percent of most magic merely consists of knowing one extra fact.
Terry Pratchett
He sighed. It had come to this. He was a responsible authority, and people could use terms like core values at him with impunity.
Terry Pratchett
Strength enough to build a home, Time enough to hold a child, Love enough to break a heart
Terry Pratchett
Knowing how bad you could be is a great encouragement to being good.
Terry Pratchett
Why not? If enough people believe, you can be god of anything.
Terry Pratchett
While a book has got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the reader it's got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the writer as well.
Terry Pratchett
Some of them wanted to sell me snake oil and I'm not necessarily going to dismiss all of these, as I have never found a rusty snake.
Terry Pratchett
I would advise budding writers some other kind of job, unless they think they're very, very lucky.
Terry Pratchett
There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.
Terry Pratchett
This is where the gods play games with the lives of men, on a board which is at one and the same time a simple playing area and the whole world. And Fate always wins.
Terry Pratchett
Verence would rather cut his own leg off than put a witch in prison, since it'd save trouble in the long run and probably be less painful.
Terry Pratchett
Banana daiquiris aren't knock-'em-back-by-the-flagon.
