More quotes by 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
Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That's something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes you had to take a look at yourself and then look away.
Terry Pratchett
Why not? If enough people believe, you can be god of anything.
Terry Pratchett
It's still magic even if you know how it's done.
Terry Pratchett
Luck is my middle name. Mind you, my first name is Bad.
Terry Pratchett
Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like 'his mighty steed was as fleet as the wind on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three,' and any loose talk about a beloved having a face that launched a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed look like a bottle of champagne.
Terry Pratchett
There's always a story. It's all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.
Terry Pratchett
Science fiction is fantasy with bolts painted on outside.
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
There was no safety. There was no pride. All there was, was money. Everything became money, and money became everything. Money treated us as if we were things, and we died.
Terry Pratchett
And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things.
Terry Pratchett
Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.
Terry Pratchett
What's money interested in? More money.
Terry Pratchett
The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.
Terry Pratchett
You did something because it had always been done, and the explanation was, ‘But we’ve always done it this way.’ A million dead people can’t have been wrong, can they?
Terry Pratchett
Right! Right! You can get there! I can get there! You're a natural at counting to two! I'm a nat'ral at counting to two! If you can count to two, you can count to anything! If I can count to two, I can count to anything! And then the world is your mollusc! My mollusc! What's a mollusc?
Terry Pratchett
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
Terry Pratchett
I must confess the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occurred to him.
Terry Pratchett
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Terry Pratchett
