Terry Pratchett
You were the kind of kid who couldn't see the difference between throwing rocks at a cat and setting it on fire.
Terry Pratchett
The female mind is certainly a devious one, my lord. Vetinari looked at his secretary in surprise. Well, of course it is. It has to deal with the male one.
Terry Pratchett
-Oh yes? Can you identify yourself? -Certainly. I'd know me anywhere.
Terry Pratchett
When all else failed, she tried being reasonable.
Terry Pratchett
Real children do not go hoppity skip unless they are on drugs.

I commend my soul to any god that can find it.
Terry Pratchett
For example, the dwarfs found out how to turn lead into gold by doing it the hard way. The difference between that and the easy way is that the hard way works.
Terry Pratchett
Vampires have risen from the dead, the grave, and the crypt, but have never managed it from the cat.
