More quotes by Terry Pratchett
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
Terry Pratchett
By the time you've reached your sixties, you do know that one day you will die, and knowing that is at least the beginning of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
The man gave a shrug which indicated that, although the world did indeed have many problems, this was one of them that was not his.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.
Terry Pratchett
You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise. I mean, all you could do is give them a meaningful look.
Terry Pratchett
It was quite impossible to describe. Here is what it looked like. It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt Paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble with thinking was that, once you started, you went on doing it.
Terry Pratchett
My agent pointed out one day that I had been quoted by a columnist in some American newspaper, and he noted with some glee that they simply identified me by name without reminding people who I was, apparently in the clear expectation that their readers would know who I am.
Terry Pratchett
I'm not cruel, sir, I won't shoot you in the guts, but I will make you realize how much you took your toes for granted.
Terry Pratchett
Even the blind and meek and voiceless have gods.
Terry Pratchett
It's always surprising to be reminded that while you're watching and thinking about people, all knowing and superior, they're watching and thinking about you, right back at you.
Terry Pratchett
I don't want unnecessary violence, sergeant, said Blouse. Right you are, sir! said the sergeant. Carborundum! First man comes through that door runnin', I want him nailed to the wall! He caught the lieutenant's eye, and added: But not too hard!
Terry Pratchett
There’s no point in believing in things that exist.
Terry Pratchett
Classically, very few people have considered that cleanliness is next to godliness. A rank loincloth and hair in an advanced state of matted entanglement have generally been the badges of office of prophets whose injunction to disdain earthly things starts with soap.
Terry Pratchett
As a species, we are forever sticking our finger into the electric socket of the universe to see what will happen next.
Terry Pratchett
I don't think a baker reads an awful lot about bread.
Terry Pratchett
...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.
Terry Pratchett
After all, when you seek advice from someone it's certainly not because you want them to give it. You just want them to be there while you talk to yourself.
Terry Pratchett
I read anything that’s going to be interesting. But you don’t know what it is until you’ve read it. Somewhere in a book on the history of false teeth there’ll be the making of a novel.
Terry Pratchett
But that was just it - hate was exactly the right word. Hate is a force of attraction. Hate is just love with its back turned.
Terry Pratchett
