Science fiction is fantasy with bolts painted on outside.
Terry Pratchett
Image
This was not a fairy-tale castle and there was no such thing as a fairy-tale ending, but sometimes you could threaten to kick the handsome prince in the ham-and-eggs.
Terry Pratchett
Image
His progress through life was hampered by his tremendous sense of his own ignorance, a disability which affects all too few.

Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.
Terry Pratchett
Image
The singers all loathe the sight of one another, the chorus despises the singers, they both hate the orchestra, and everyone fears the conductor the staff on one prompt side won't talk to the staff on the opposite prompt side, the dancers are all crazed from hunger in any case.

Terry Pratchett
Image
One minute I'm just another rabbit and happy about it, next minute *whazaam*, I'm thinking. That's a major drawback if you're looking for happiness as a rabbit, let me tell you. You want grass and sex, not thoughts like 'What's it all about, when you get right down to it?'

Terry Pratchett
Image
An author writes a book, and that's the book at that point. And if the author writes the book again, then somehow something has gone wrong, if you see what I mean.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Animals never spend time dividing experience into little bits and speculating about all the bits they've missed. The whole panoply of the universe has been neatly expressed to them as things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks.
Terry Pratchett
Image
He felt that the darkness was full of unimaginable horrors - and the trouble with unimaginable horrors was that they were only too easy to imagine.
Terry Pratchett

The kind of accidents you prefer to call...accidents.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realize that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons. Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake.

I thought unicorns were more . . . Fluffy.

Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.

We sleepwalk through our lives, because how could we live if we were always this awake?
