Terry Pratchett
All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you were badly dressed.
Terry Pratchett
The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.
Terry Pratchett
The conflict is not between Christianity and Islam or between East and West - instead, it is between stupid people and other stupid people.
Terry Pratchett
There is no doubt that being human is incredibly difficult and cannot be mastered in one lifetime.
Terry Pratchett
Things like crowns had a troublesome effect on clever folk it was best to leave all the reigning to the kind of people whose eyebrows met in the middle when they tried to think. In a funny sort of way, they were much better at it.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing how bad you could be is a great encouragement to being good.
Terry Pratchett
I'm trying to remember how you tell the time by looking at the sun. -I should leave it for a while, it's too bright to see the numbers at the moment.
