More quotes by Terry Pratchett
And then you bit onto them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.

The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
It is said that whomsoever the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. In fact, whomsoever the gods wish to destroy, they first hand the equivalent of a stick with a fizzing fuse and Acme Dynamite Company written on the side. It's more interesting, and doesn't take so long.
Terry Pratchett
Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example.
Terry Pratchett
I don't see what's so triffic about creating people as people and then gettin' upset 'cos they act like people.
Terry Pratchett
Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get out.
Terry Pratchett
Imagination is only intelligence having fun. A healthy mind knows how to switch between worlds, and which one you need to eat and sleep in.
Terry Pratchett
There will be justice, said Brutha. If there is no justice, there is nothing.
Terry Pratchett
It seems sensible to me that we should look to the medical profession, that over the centuries has helped us to live longer and healthier lives, to help us die peacefully among our loved ones in our own home without a long stay in God's waiting room.
Terry Pratchett
The words are easy - most of them have already been invented.
Terry Pratchett
Vimes's lack of interest in other people's children was limitless.
Terry Pratchett
Winners never talk about glorious victories. Thats because they're the ones who see what the battle field looks like afterwards. Its only the losers who have glorious victories.
