More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Everywhere's been where it is ever since it was first put there. It's called geography.
Terry Pratchett
You never knew about people, like you never knew how deep a pond was because all you saw was the top.
Terry Pratchett
Ninety percent of true love is acute, ear-burning embarrassment.
Terry Pratchett
But the purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's defeat.
Terry Pratchett
The 'New Testament', now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood - a material that couldn't have been widely available in Palestine.
Terry Pratchett
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
He felt that the darkness was full of unimaginable horrors - and the trouble with unimaginable horrors was that they were only too easy to imagine.
Terry Pratchett
I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult, and I decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces that I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have.
Terry Pratchett
Find the story, Granny Weatherwax always said. She believed that the world was full of story shapes. If you let them, they controlled you. But if you studied them, if you found out about them... you could use them, you could change them.
Terry Pratchett
A police procedural novel can be even funnier if the police include Trolls and Dwarves and things like that. You start looking at the whole basis of the cop novel. You get the cop moving in a different way when you've actually set it in a fantasy city.
Terry Pratchett
I’m a witch. It’s what we do. When it’s nobody else’s business, it’s my business.
Terry Pratchett
Cake is not the issue here.
Terry Pratchett
When Mister Safety Catch Is Not On, Mister Crossbow Is Not Your Friend.
Terry Pratchett
She walked quickly through the darkness with the frank stride of someone who was at least certain that the forest, on this damp and windy night, contained strange and terrible things and she was it.
Terry Pratchett
I dare say that quite a few people have contemplated death for reasons that much later seemed to them to be quite minor.
Terry Pratchett
The librarians were mysterious. It was said they could tell what book you needed just by looking at you, and they could take your voice away with a word.
Terry Pratchett
They say that the prospect of being hanged in the morning concentrates a man's mind wonderfully unfortunately, what the mind inevitably concentrates on is that, in the morning, it will be in a body that is going to be hanged.
Terry Pratchett
Why not? If enough people believe, you can be god of anything.
Terry Pratchett
I read anything that’s going to be interesting. But you don’t know what it is until you’ve read it. Somewhere in a book on the history of false teeth there’ll be the making of a novel.
Terry Pratchett
People couldn't become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked.
Terry Pratchett
