More quotes by 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
Knowing how bad you could be is a great encouragement to being good.
Terry Pratchett
There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
The fastest way to travel is to be there already.
Terry Pratchett
I can't stand any music that requires its singers to be so dumb they wear their baseball caps backwards.
Terry Pratchett
All was black, gloomy and awful. There was no light at the end of the tunnel - or if there was, it was an oncoming train.
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
How do you get all those coins? asked Mort. IN PAIRS.
Terry Pratchett
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Terry Pratchett
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
Terry Pratchett
It seems sensible to me that we should look to the medical profession, that over the centuries has helped us to live longer and healthier lives, to help us die peacefully among our loved ones in our own home without a long stay in God's waiting room.
Terry Pratchett
Progress just means bad things happen faster.
