More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I commend my soul to any god that can find it.
Terry Pratchett
But the purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's defeat.
Terry Pratchett
It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country, he read. This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.
Terry Pratchett
Ach, people are always telling us not to do things said Rob Anybody, that's how we ken the most interesting things to do.

Terry Pratchett
Pets are always a great help in times of stress. And in times of starvation too, o'course.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
You just put that sword away, sir, please, said the voice of Lance-Constable Vimes. You will not shoot me, you young idiot. That would be murder, said the captain calmly. Not where I'm aiming, sir.
Terry Pratchett
What I've always said was, hang in there, let me write what I want to write, and you'll probably like it.
Terry Pratchett
Adventure! People talked about the idea as if it were something worthwhile, rather than a mess of bad food, no sleep and strange people inexplicably trying to stick pointed objects in bits of you.
Terry Pratchett
Colon thought Carrot was simple. Carrot often struck people as simple. And he was. Where people went wrong was thinking that simple meant the same thing as stupid.
Terry Pratchett
This time it had been magic. And it didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.
Terry Pratchett
Look, he said to his imagination, if this is how you're going to behave, I shan't bring you again.
Terry Pratchett
This is where the gods play games with the lives of men, on a board which is at one and the same time a simple playing area and the whole world. And Fate always wins.
Terry Pratchett
Incidentally, it's best not to argue with the nursing staff. I find the best course of action is to throw some chocolates in one direction and hurry off in the other while their attention is distracted.
Terry Pratchett
