More quotes by Terry Pratchett
We who think we are about to die will laugh at anything.
Terry Pratchett
It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself. But Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple.
Terry Pratchett
No one thinks that young adults read hooks for YOUNG ADULTS, books for young adults are read by kids.
Terry Pratchett
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a writer who's writing books, and therefore, I don't want to die. You'd miss the end of the book, wouldn't you? You can't die with an unfinished book.
Terry Pratchett
The enemy isn’t men, or women, it’s bloody stupid people and no-one has the right to be stupid.
Terry Pratchett
And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.
Terry Pratchett
Death strode away, stopped, and came back. He pointed a skeletal finger at The Duck Man. WHY, he said, ARE YOU WALKING AROUND WITH THAT DUCK? What duck? AH. SORRY.
Terry Pratchett
Everywhere I look, I see something holy.
Terry Pratchett
When you stand between two mirrors you're spread out among the images, your whole soul is pulled out thin, and somewhere in the distant images a dark part of you might get out and come looking for you, if you aren't careful.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble with thinking was that, once you started, you went on doing it.
Terry Pratchett
Its useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble is you can shut your eyes but you can’t shut your mind.
Terry Pratchett
People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it.
Terry Pratchett
Many an ancient lord's last words have been, 'You can't kill me because I've got magic aaargh.'
Terry Pratchett
IT'S THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR LITTLE FACES I LIKE, said the Hogfather. You mean sort of fear and awe and not knowing whether to laugh or cry or wet their pants? YES. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL BELIEF.
Terry Pratchett
Even the blind and meek and voiceless have gods.
Terry Pratchett
Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage.
Terry Pratchett
If I had been Terry Pratchett the farmer, or Terry Pratchett the dentist, nobody would have paid any attention if I had announced I had Alzheimer's. But there is something fascinating about an author losing the power over words.
Terry Pratchett
Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.
Terry Pratchett
The most important thing was that time had passed, pouring thousands of soothing seconds across the island. People need time to deal with the now before it runs away and becomes the then.
Terry Pratchett
