Terry Pratchett
Jeremy tried to be an interesting person. The trouble was that he was the kind of person who, having decided to be an interesting person, would first of all try to find a book called How to Be An Interesting Person and then see whether there were any courses available.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind tried to force the memory out of his mind, but it was rather enjoying itself there, terrorizing the other occupants and kicking over the furniture.
Terry Pratchett
There have been better attempts at marching, and they have been made by penguins.
Terry Pratchett
In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
Terry Pratchett
It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever he said. Have you thought of going into teaching?

Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage.
Terry Pratchett
Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.
Terry Pratchett
Either dragons should exist completely or fail to exist at all, he felt. A dragon only half-existing was worse than the extremes.
Terry Pratchett
Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.
