More quotes by Terry Pratchett
When people say clearly something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all.
Terry Pratchett
The words are easy - most of them have already been invented.
Terry Pratchett
One of the hardest lessons in young Sam's life had been finding out that the people in charge weren't in charge. It had been finding out that governments were not, on the whole, staffed by people who had a grip, and that plans were what people made instead of thinking.
Terry Pratchett
Where's the pleasure in bein' the winner if the loser ain't alive to know they've lost?
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
The labyrinth of Ephebe is ancient and full of one hundred and one amazing things you can do with hidden springs, razor-sharp knives, and falling rocks.
Terry Pratchett
You get a wonderful view from the point of no return.
Terry Pratchett
The female mind is certainly a devious one, my lord. Vetinari looked at his secretary in surprise. Well, of course it is. It has to deal with the male one.
Terry Pratchett
I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all, they wanted to bring money into the state, not merely circulate it.
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
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
I have a living will and I have friends, and I have money and I have hope.
Terry Pratchett
The sun is simple. A sword is simple. A storm is simple. Behind everything simple is a huge tail of complicated.
Terry Pratchett
This is Art holding a Mirror up to Life. That’s why everything is exactly the wrong way around.
Terry Pratchett
Cats don't hunt seals. They would if they knew what they were and where to find them. But they don't, so that's all right.
Terry Pratchett
Previous generations understood about death, and undoubtedly would have seen a reasonable amount of death. Once you get into the Victorian era, you might well have seen the funerals of many of your siblings before you were very old.
Terry Pratchett
All tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.
Terry Pratchett
In the end the problem isn't that you have the wrong sort of government for the People, but that you have the wrong sort of People.
Terry Pratchett
Strength enough to build a home, Time enough to hold a child, Love enough to break a heart
Terry Pratchett
And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: Psst!
Terry Pratchett
