More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I used to think that I was stupid, and then I met philosophers.
Terry Pratchett
Preston, I don't think this creature could ever find its way into your head. Quite apart from anything else, it seems pretty crowded and complicated to me.
Terry Pratchett
All I am really promoting in the books is the Golden Rule, which I hope everybody knows to be do as you would be done by. It has one or 2 flaws, but it is a good soundbite. Evil starts when you treat other people as things. There are perhaps worse crimes, but they begin when you treat other people as things.
Terry Pratchett
The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.
Terry Pratchett
As a species, we are forever sticking our finger into the electric socket of the universe to see what will happen next.
Terry Pratchett
I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all, they wanted to bring money into the state, not merely circulate it.
Terry Pratchett
Go anywhere you wish, talk to everyone. Ask any questions you will be given answers. When you want to learn, you will be taught. Use the library. Open any book.
Terry Pratchett
There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.
Terry Pratchett
I don’t think it's weak to admit you made a mistake. That takes strength, if you ask me.
Terry Pratchett
We sleepwalk through our lives, because how could we live if we were always this awake?
Terry Pratchett
But I think you have a right to know what it is you’re not being told.
Terry Pratchett
Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.
Terry Pratchett
She wore so much thick white makeup in order to conceal her naturally rosy complexion that if she turned around suddenly her face would probably end up on the back of her head.
Terry Pratchett
Luck is my middle name. Mind you, my first name is Bad.
Terry Pratchett
First Sight means you can see what really is there, and Second Thoughts mean thinking about what you are thinking. And in Tiffany's case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts although these...sometimes led her to walk into doors.
Terry Pratchett
What can the harvest hope for...
Terry Pratchett
If I had been Terry Pratchett the farmer, or Terry Pratchett the dentist, nobody would have paid any attention if I had announced I had Alzheimer's. But there is something fascinating about an author losing the power over words.
Terry Pratchett
It was so loud and so deep, it wasn't really sound at all, just something that turned the air hard and then hit you with it.
Terry Pratchett
I have no fear of death whatsoever. I suspect that few people do, what they all fear is what might happen in the years or months before death.
Terry Pratchett
She was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful: something to be admired from a distance, not up close.
Terry Pratchett
