Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon -- he'd run them all.
Terry Pratchett
No matter what she did with her hair it took about three minutes for it to tangle itself up again, like a garden hosepipe in a shed [Which, no matter how carefully coiled, will always uncoil overnight and tie the lawnmower to the bicycles].
Terry Pratchett
You never knew about people, like you never knew how deep a pond was because all you saw was the top.
Terry Pratchett
An ancient proverb summed it up when a wizard is tired of looking for broken glass in his dinner, it ran, he is tired of life.
Terry Pratchett
Occasionally he would very nearly swear.
Terry Pratchett
Humans can think inhuman thoughts.

Terry Pratchett
I never said nothing... I know you never! I could hear you not saying anything! You've got the loudest silences I ever did hear from anyone who wasn't dead!
Terry Pratchett
I may be daft but I'm no' stupid!
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
There was no himself in himself.
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
escapism isn't good or bad in itself. what is important is what you are escaping from and where you are escaping to.
Terry Pratchett
Things have no power that humans don't put there.
Terry Pratchett
If it wasn't for the fun and money, I really don't know why I'd bother.
Terry Pratchett
Colon has always thought that heroes had some special kind of clockwork that made them go out and die famously for god, country and apple pie, or whatever particular delicacy their mother made. It had never occurred to him that they might do it because they'd get yelled at if they didn't.
Terry Pratchett
There are some people who hate my guts. But that goes with the territory.
Terry Pratchett
The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel. This is essentially the basis of all military thinking.
Terry Pratchett
The thing with crowns is, it isn't the putting them on that's the problem, it's the taking them off.
Terry Pratchett
Don't you *ever* let go? I haven't yet. Why? I suppose... because in this world, after everyone panics, there's always got to be someone to tip the wee out of the shoe.
Terry Pratchett
