More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I thought unicorns were more . . . Fluffy.
Terry Pratchett
The 'New Testament', now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood - a material that couldn't have been widely available in Palestine.
Terry Pratchett
Mr Lipwig, there's a lady in the hall to see you and we've thanked her for not smoking three times and she's still doing it!
Terry Pratchett
In her own special category, she was quite beautiful. This was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at.
Terry Pratchett
Did I do anything last night that suggested I was sane?
Terry Pratchett
I know that I am a small, weak man, but I have amassed a large library I dream of dangerous places.
Terry Pratchett
Cats will amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw.

Terry Pratchett
Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide.
Terry Pratchett
Light died in the west. Night and tears took the Nation. The star of Water drifted among the clouds like a murderer softly leaving the scene of the crime.
Terry Pratchett
I thought it very strange, and very sad, that the fairy kingdom largely appears to be English. I thought it was time for some regional representation. And the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they're like tiny little Scottish Smurfs who have seen Braveheart altogether too many times.
Terry Pratchett
Banana daiquiris aren't knock-'em-back-by-the-flagon.
Terry Pratchett
People whose concept of ancient history is the first series of Star Trek may be treated with patience, because it's usually not their fault they were reduced to getting their education from school.
Terry Pratchett
It was the living who ignored the strange and wonderful, because life was too full of the boring and mundane.
Terry Pratchett
His parents called him Youngster. They did this in the subconcious hope that he might take the hint. Wensleydale gave the impression of having been born with a mental age of 47.
Terry Pratchett
At least I know I'm bewildered about the really fundamental and important facts of the universe.
Terry Pratchett
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods they have not forgotten this.
Terry Pratchett
Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
Terry Pratchett
One of the things forgotten about the human spirit is that while it is, in the right conditions, noble and brave and wonderful, it is also, when you get right down to it, only human.
Terry Pratchett
When a man is tired of Ankh-Morpork, he is tired of ankle-deep slurry.
