There's a lot of science in it, and as Slartibartfast [in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] said: 'I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.' I've never, ever been able to do one. I remember one occasion at Warwick University, when Jack and Ian were at their wits' end because I couldn't get it. I felt totally ashamed.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, there's plenty of reasons. I just don't know which one.
Terry Pratchett
Just call in at the torturer on your way out. See when he can fit you in.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
There will be justice, said Brutha. If there is no justice, there is nothing.
Terry Pratchett
Colon has always thought that heroes had some special kind of clockwork that made them go out and die famously for god, country and apple pie, or whatever particular delicacy their mother made. It had never occurred to him that they might do it because they'd get yelled at if they didn't.
Terry Pratchett
Making money isn't something to be ashamed of. There's a feeling now that if you have money you must have got it by some kind of shady dealing or being an MP.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes you had to take a look at yourself and then look away.
Terry Pratchett
Everything happens for a reason, except possibly football. (in Thief of Time)
Terry Pratchett
And gears, said Anathema. My bike didn't have gears. I'm sure my bike didn't have gears. Crowley leaned over to the angel. Oh lord, heal this bike, he whispered sarcastically. I'm sorry, I just got carried away, hissed Aziraphale.
