More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way. It's good for the hygiene of the brain.
Terry Pratchett
Most of my schooldays were the worst day of my life.
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
And what would humans be without love? Rare, said Death.
Terry Pratchett
The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.
Terry Pratchett
History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time.
Terry Pratchett

And the people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them, I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba. That's oppression, that is. If I'm not under the heel of the oppressor, I don't know who is.
Terry Pratchett
It's either because of the number of times the scholar puts the boot into Peter Jackson the director of The Lord of the Rings films or is making a point they have never heard of.
Terry Pratchett
At such times the universe gets a little closer to us. They are strange times, times of beginnings and endings. Dangerous and powerful. And we feel it even if we don't know what it is. These times are not necessarily good, and not necessarily bad. In fact, what they are depends on what *we* are.
Terry Pratchett
When I am old I shall wear midnight.
Terry Pratchett
Thou shalt not submit thy god to market forces.
Terry Pratchett
If you kept changing the way people saw the world, you ended up changing the way you saw yourself.
Terry Pratchett
Every step is a first step if it's a step in the right direction.
Terry Pratchett
First Thoughts are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. Third Thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. Listening to them is part of witchcraft.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, come on. Revelation was a mushroom dream that belonged in the Apocrypha. The New Testament is basically about what happened when God got religion.
Terry Pratchett
It wasn't that Nanny Ogg sang badly. It was just that she could hit notes which, when amplified by a tin bath half full of water, ceased to be sound and became some sort of invasive presence.
Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax was firmly against fiction. Life was hard enough without lies floating around and changing the way people thought.
