More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Rincewind tried to force the memory out of his mind, but it was rather enjoying itself there, terrorizing the other occupants and kicking over the furniture.
Terry Pratchett
Truth! Freedom! Justice! And a hard-boiled egg!
Terry Pratchett
Generally I start writing when I have even the smallest idea of how a book is going to go, because the physical process of writing itself keeps the mind active and focused on the job at hand. Usually I write in about 5 drafts, but that simply means there are 5 definite times when I go in a linear fashion from the beginning to the end of the book.

Terry Pratchett
Vimes struggled to his feet, shook his head and set off after it. No thought was involved. It is the ancient instinct of terriers and policemen to chase anything that runs away.
Terry Pratchett
When much is taken, something is returned.
Terry Pratchett
If there were such a thing as an inter-city thieving contest, Ankh-Morpork would bring home the trophy and probably everyone’s wallets.
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
There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.
Terry Pratchett
One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, well...up until now it had been a good day, in a horrible kind of way.
Terry Pratchett
It's hard to explain, said Brutha. But I think it's got something to do with how people should behave... you should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing things is magical, if other people don't know them.
Terry Pratchett
It is at this point that normal language gives up, and goes and has a drink.
Terry Pratchett
A good banana daiquiri is hard to come by. I've only ever found one place in this country that makes a proper one, and that's in Leeds.
