Building a temple didn't mean you believed in gods, it just meant you believed in architecture.
Terry Pratchett
It's daft, locking us up, said Nanny. I'd have had us killed. That's because you're basically good, said Magrat. The good are innocent and create justice. The bad are guilty, which is why they invent mercy.
Terry Pratchett
When much is taken, something is returned.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
We're philosophers. We think, therefore we am.
Terry Pratchett
Yes, sir, thank you, sir, and I wouldn’t trust me one little inch, sir. I knows a bad one when I sees them. I have a mirror.
Terry Pratchett
I read anything that’s going to be interesting. But you don’t know what it is until you’ve read it. Somewhere in a book on the history of false teeth there’ll be the making of a novel.
Terry Pratchett
There will be justice, said Brutha. If there is no justice, there is nothing.
Terry Pratchett
If I knew that I could die, I would live. My life, my death, my choice.
Terry Pratchett
He thought about how it might be to be, say, a fox confronted with an angry sheep. A sheep moreover, that could afford to employ wolves.
Terry Pratchett
I must confess the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occurred to him.
Terry Pratchett
There have been better attempts at marching, and they have been made by penguins.
