Terry Pratchett
You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise. I mean, all you could do is give them a meaningful look.
Terry Pratchett
My character - and for that matter my worst habits - could only be described by someone else. You can't open a box with the crowbar inside it.
Terry Pratchett
Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
Terry Pratchett
He stared at his feet. “I’m still very ignorant,” he said, “but at least I’m ignorant about really important things.
Terry Pratchett
When you stand between two mirrors you're spread out among the images, your whole soul is pulled out thin, and somewhere in the distant images a dark part of you might get out and come looking for you, if you aren't careful.
Terry Pratchett
What I've always said was, hang in there, let me write what I want to write, and you'll probably like it.
Terry Pratchett
