Terry Pratchett

At such times the universe gets a little closer to us. They are strange times, times of beginnings and endings. Dangerous and powerful. And we feel it even if we don't know what it is. These times are not necessarily good, and not necessarily bad. In fact, what they are depends on what *we* are.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Everywhere I look, I see something holy.
Terry Pratchett
You know I've never agreed with baths. Sittin' around in your own dirt like that.
Terry Pratchett
Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.
Terry Pratchett
... all reputable falconers agreed that for hunting purposes the only way you could reliably bring down prey with a wowhawk was by using it in a slingshot.
Terry Pratchett
If there were such a thing as an inter-city thieving contest, Ankh-Morpork would bring home the trophy and probably everyone’s wallets.
Terry Pratchett
The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it.
Terry Pratchett
I can't stand any music that requires its singers to be so dumb they wear their baseball caps backwards.
Terry Pratchett
...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.
Terry Pratchett
It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country, he read. This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.
Terry Pratchett
Other people salted away money for their old age, but Nanny preferred to accumulate memories.
