More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Priests were metal-reinforced overshoes. They saved your soles. This is an Assassin joke.
Terry Pratchett
The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.
Terry Pratchett
Raise the stakes! Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.
Terry Pratchett
There's always a story. It's all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.
Terry Pratchett
Corporal Nobbs had been disqualified from the human race for shoving
Terry Pratchett
Classically, very few people have considered that cleanliness is next to godliness. A rank loincloth and hair in an advanced state of matted entanglement have generally been the badges of office of prophets whose injunction to disdain earthly things starts with soap.
Terry Pratchett
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.
Terry Pratchett
Albert grunted. Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions? Mort thought for a moment. No, he said eventually, what? There was silence. Then Albert straightened up and said, Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right.
Terry Pratchett
They were small, brightly coloured, happy little creatures who secreted some of the nastiest toxins in the world, which is why the job of looking after the large vivarium where they happily passed their days was given to first-year students, on the basis that if they got things wrong there wouldn't be too much education wasted.
Terry Pratchett
Hello, inner child, I'm the inner babysitter!
Terry Pratchett
Now that their long war was over, they could get on with the proper concern of all civilised nations, which is to prepare for the next one.
Terry Pratchett
Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended.
Terry Pratchett
Either dragons should exist completely or fail to exist at all, he felt. A dragon only half-existing was worse than the extremes.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind could scream for mercy in nineteen languages, and just scream in another forty-four.
Terry Pratchett
Magic is just a way of saying 'I don't know.'
Terry Pratchett
Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because - what with trolls and dwarfs and so on - speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green.
Terry Pratchett
If I knew that I could die, I would live. My life, my death, my choice.
Terry Pratchett
The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.
Terry Pratchett
It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could, but you were still alive.
Terry Pratchett
