There can be no better grounding for a lifetime as an author than to see humanity in all its various guises through the lens of the reporter for the town.
Terry Pratchett
There is always time for another last minute
Terry Pratchett
One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
Terry Pratchett
There is no doubt that being human is incredibly difficult and cannot be mastered in one lifetime.
Terry Pratchett
Remember - that which does not kill us can only make us stronger. And that which does kill us leaves us dead!
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say it was god's will when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.
Terry Pratchett
At least I know I'm bewildered about the really fundamental and important facts of the universe.
Terry Pratchett
Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.
Terry Pratchett
Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
Terry Pratchett
And then you bit onto them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.
Terry Pratchett
When a man is tired of Ankh-Morpork, he is tired of ankle-deep slurry.
Terry Pratchett
When all else failed, she tried being reasonable.
Terry Pratchett
No, I happen to be one of those people whose memory shuts down under pressure. The answers would come to me in the middle of the night in my sleep! Besides, I am a millionaire.
Terry Pratchett
Unseen University had never admitted women, muttering something about problems with the plumbing, but the real reason was an unspoken dread that if women were allowed to mess around with magic they would probably be embarrassingly good at it.
Terry Pratchett
If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.
Terry Pratchett
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
Terry Pratchett
Only Ron's dog was watching William. He considered that it had, for a dog, a very offensive and knowing look. A couple of months ago someaone had tried to hand William the old story about there being a dog in the city that could talk. (...) The dog in front of William didn't look as if it could talk, but it DID look as if it would swear.
Terry Pratchett
