More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.
Terry Pratchett
People flock in, nevertheless, in search of answers to those questions only librarians are considered to be able to answer, such as Is this the laundry? How do you spell surreptitious? and, on a regular basis, Do you have a book I remember reading once? It had a red cover and it turned out they were twins.
Terry Pratchett
Seeing things a human shouldn't have to see makes us human.
Terry Pratchett
I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult, and I decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces that I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have.
Terry Pratchett
I can see we're going to get along like a house on fire, said Miss Tick. There may be no survivors.
Terry Pratchett
If you want to change a whole people, then you start with the girls. It stands to reason: they learn faster, and they pass on what they learn to their children.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing that you are going to die is, I suspect, the beginning of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Just because you've got a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you have to treat everyone else like a nail
Terry Pratchett
Dark Fantasy is just another way of saying Horror.
Terry Pratchett
But of course, what the eagle does not realize is that it is participating in a very crude form of natural selection.One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
Terry Pratchett
Ah, said Mr Pin. Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens. He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'.
Terry Pratchett
It was quite impossible to describe. Here is what it looked like. It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt Paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon.
Terry Pratchett
As a species, we are forever sticking our finger into the electric socket of the universe to see what will happen next.
Terry Pratchett
Things like crowns had a troublesome effect on clever folk it was best to leave all the reigning to the kind of people whose eyebrows met in the middle when they tried to think. In a funny sort of way, they were much better at it.
Terry Pratchett
The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.
Terry Pratchett
Nanny Ogg never did any housework herself, but she was the cause of housework in other people.
Terry Pratchett
Coffee is a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your older self.
Terry Pratchett
Preston, I don't think this creature could ever find its way into your head. Quite apart from anything else, it seems pretty crowded and complicated to me.
Terry Pratchett
Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.
Terry Pratchett
