Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth.
Terry Pratchett
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Terry Pratchett
The important thing about adventures, thought Mr. Bunnsy, was that they shouldn't be so long as to make you miss mealtimes.

Terry Pratchett
It was long after midnight and the stars looked damp and chilly the air was full of the busy silence of the night, which is created by hundreds of small furry things treading very carefully in the hope of finding dinner while avoiding being the main course.
Terry Pratchett
There was this about vampires : they could never look scruffy. Instead, they were... what was the word... deshabille. It meant untidy, but with bags and bags of style.
Terry Pratchett
When Mister Safety Catch Is Not On, Mister Crossbow Is Not Your Friend.
Terry Pratchett
But there was more to it than that. As the Amazing Maurice said, it was just a story about people and rats. And the difficult part of it was deciding who the people were, and who were the rats.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, there's plenty of reasons. I just don't know which one.
Terry Pratchett
He'd always known that the world was an interesting place, and his imagination had peopled it with pirates and bandits and spies and astronauts and similar. But he'd also had a nagging suspicion that, when you seriously got right down to it, they were all just things in books and didn't properly exist anymore.
Terry Pratchett
And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: Psst!
Terry Pratchett
When people say clearly something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!
Terry Pratchett
He talks pretty big for a gutter wizard, he muttered. You don't understand at all, said the wizard wearily. I'm so scared of you my spine has turned to jelly, it's just that I'm suffering from an overdose of terror right now. I mean, when I've got over that then I'll have time to be decently frightened of you.
Terry Pratchett
