More quotes by Terry Pratchett
There’s no point in believing in things that exist.
Terry Pratchett
I keep vaguely wondering what Macs are like, but the ones I've seen spend too much time being friendly.
Terry Pratchett
Don't you *ever* let go? I haven't yet. Why? I suppose... because in this world, after everyone panics, there's always got to be someone to tip the wee out of the shoe.
Terry Pratchett
After a while, another voice said: One, two, three, four- And the universe came into being. It was wrong to call it a big bang. That would just be noise, and all that noise could create is more noise and a cosmos full of random particles. Matter exploded into being, apparently as chaos, but in fact as a chord. The ultimate power chord.
Terry Pratchett
Technically, the city of Ankh-Morpork is a Tyranny, which is not always the same thing as a monarchy, and in fact even the post of Tyrant has been somewhat redefined by the incumbent, Lord Vetinari, as the only form of democracy that works. Everyone is entitled to vote, unless disqualified by reason of age or not being Lord Vetinari.
Terry Pratchett
There was a man and he had eight sons. Apart from that, he was nothing more than a comma on the page of History. It's sad, but that's all you can say about some people.
Terry Pratchett
Just to keep bad dreams at bay, she took a swig out of a bottle that smelled of apples and happy brain-death.
Terry Pratchett
There are some people who hate my guts. But that goes with the territory.
Terry Pratchett
I'm interested in mythology generally, but India has no special place in my heart - although Hindu gods seem a lot more fun.
Terry Pratchett
The singers all loathe the sight of one another, the chorus despises the singers, they both hate the orchestra, and everyone fears the conductor the staff on one prompt side won't talk to the staff on the opposite prompt side, the dancers are all crazed from hunger in any case.
Terry Pratchett
You have reached the end of cake
Terry Pratchett
If you don't know when to be a human being, you don't know when to be a witch.
Terry Pratchett
Granddad was superstitious about books. He thought that if you had enough of them around, education leaked out, like radioactivity.
Terry Pratchett
Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
Terry Pratchett
You are very clever, said the old man shyly. I would like to eat your brains, one day.
Terry Pratchett
I'd like to stand up for the rights of people who put everything on their burger - chutney, mustard, pickle, mustard pickle, tomato sauce... It is common knowledge in my family that I can't tell the difference between a veggie burger and a meat one, because the ratio of burger to pickles is so high.
Terry Pratchett
In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
Terry Pratchett
Some of them wanted to sell me snake oil and I'm not necessarily going to dismiss all of these, as I have never found a rusty snake.
Terry Pratchett
Imagination, not intelligence, made us human.
Terry Pratchett
Cats gravitate to kitchens like rocks gravitate to gravity.
