Terry Pratchett
It's no wonder most religions are born in the desert, because when men lay beneath that boundless night sky and look up at the infinite expanse of creation they have an uncontrollable urge to put something in the way .
Terry Pratchett
You can't find a hermit to teach you herming, because of course that rather spoils the whole thing.
Terry Pratchett
Don't look back! Why not? Because I just did! Run faster!
Terry Pratchett
… you were so worried about legal and illegal that you never stopped to think about whether it was right or wrong.
Terry Pratchett
Anyway, if you stop tellin' people it's all sorted out afer they're dead, they might try sorting it all out while they're alive.

If Not You, Who Else?
Terry Pratchett
She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.
Terry Pratchett
I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say it was god's will when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.
Terry Pratchett
Let's see, now... in HOGFATHER there are a number of stabbings, someone's killed by a man made of knives, someone's killed by the dark, and someone just been killed by a wardrobe. It's a book about the magic of childhood. You can tell.
Terry Pratchett
People don't like to say Fantasy they say Magic Realism which means Fantasy written by somebody I went to university with.
Terry Pratchett
You are very clever, said the old man shyly. I would like to eat your brains, one day.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way. It's good for the hygiene of the brain.
Terry Pratchett
Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example.
Terry Pratchett
Certainly I have no faith in Jehovah, although I think it quite likely that Jesus Christ, as a preacher and a wise man, did indeed exist.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble was that he was talking in philosophy but they were listening in gibberish.
