Terry Pratchett
Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
Terry Pratchett
One of the highlights of the first Good Omens tour was Neil and I walking through New York singing Shoehorn with Teeth. Well, we'd had a good breakfast. And you don't get mugged, either.

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.
Terry Pratchett
This time it had been magic. And it didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.
Terry Pratchett
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but her's curiosity could have massacred a pride of lions.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind gave his fingers a long shocked stare, as one might regard a gun that has been hanging on the wall for decades and has suddenly gone off and perforated the cat.
Terry Pratchett
But here's some advice, boy. Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.
Terry Pratchett
His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.
Terry Pratchett
