Terry Pratchett
Just because you've got a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you have to treat everyone else like a nail
Terry Pratchett
I thought it very strange, and very sad, that the fairy kingdom largely appears to be English. I thought it was time for some regional representation. And the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they're like tiny little Scottish Smurfs who have seen Braveheart altogether too many times.
Terry Pratchett
She was already learning that if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes I think a man could wander across the disc all his life and not see everything there is to see,' said Twoflower. 'And now it seems there are lots of other worlds as well.

Terry Pratchett
This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
Terry Pratchett
No real sunrise could paint the sky Surgical Appliance Pink.
Terry Pratchett
It was like being in a Jane Austen novel, but one with far less clothing.
Terry Pratchett
By the time you've reached your sixties, you do know that one day you will die, and knowing that is at least the beginning of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.
Terry Pratchett
Insofar as he'd formed any opinion of her, it was that she suffered from misplaced gentility and the mistaken belief that etiquette meant good breeding. She mistook mannerisms for manners.
Terry Pratchett
The thing is, 'Discworld' had been going on for a very long time, and I've written children's books as well. Usually when people have a really big series they franchise it, which I thought is a bit of a no-no, so I thought what I'd do is I'd franchise it to myself.
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
This was not a fairy-tale castle and there was no such thing as a fairy-tale ending, but sometimes you could threaten to kick the handsome prince in the ham-and-eggs.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
