Terry Pratchett
And when the Patrician was unhappy, he became very democratic. He found intricate and painful ways of spreading that unhappiness as far as possible.
Terry Pratchett
Vimes had got around to a Clean Desk policy. It was a Clean Floor strategy that eluded him at the moment.

Terry Pratchett
Even if it's not your fault, it's your responsibility.
Terry Pratchett
The characters are the plot. What they do and say and the things that happen to them are, in a sense, what the plot is. You can't take character and plot apart from each other, really.
Terry Pratchett
I just rearrange words into a pleasing order for money.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing that you are going to die is, I suspect, the beginning of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
Maybe the best comics are written by people who really are at ease in the comic world.
Terry Pratchett
I thought unicorns were more . . . Fluffy.
Terry Pratchett
Everywhere's been where it is ever since it was first put there. It's called geography.
Terry Pratchett
It was the living who ignored the strange and wonderful, because life was too full of the boring and mundane.
Terry Pratchett
This looks like a job for inadvisably applied magic if ever I saw one.
Terry Pratchett
I commend my soul to any god that can find it.
Terry Pratchett
When in doubt, choose to live.
Terry Pratchett
Cats gravitate to kitchens like rocks gravitate to gravity.
