More quotes by Terry Pratchett
The Battle of Koom Valley is the only one known to history where both sides ambushed each other.
Terry Pratchett
The thing is, 'Discworld' had been going on for a very long time, and I've written children's books as well. Usually when people have a really big series they franchise it, which I thought is a bit of a no-no, so I thought what I'd do is I'd franchise it to myself.
Terry Pratchett
Everywhere's been where it is ever since it was first put there. It's called geography.
Terry Pratchett
Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That's something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.
Terry Pratchett
It was the heart of any scam or fiddle -- keep the punter uncertain, or, if he is certain, make him certain of the wrong thing.
Terry Pratchett
I’m a witch. It’s what we do. When it’s nobody else’s business, it’s my business.
Terry Pratchett
There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - I'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
Terry Pratchett
First Sight means you can see what really is there, and Second Thoughts mean thinking about what you are thinking. And in Tiffany's case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts although these...sometimes led her to walk into doors.
Terry Pratchett
Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
Terry Pratchett
I don't really plan. I'm almost intuitive about things.
Terry Pratchett
It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there.
Terry Pratchett
The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.
Terry Pratchett
The conflict is not between Christianity and Islam or between East and West - instead, it is between stupid people and other stupid people.
Terry Pratchett
Magic is just a way of saying 'I don't know.'
Terry Pratchett
Good and bad is tricky, she said. I ain't too certain about where people stand. P'raps what matters is which way you face. (pp. 348-349)
Terry Pratchett
Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide.
Terry Pratchett
...William wondered why he always disliked people who said 'no offense meant.' Maybe it was because they found it easier to to say 'no offense meant' than actually to refrain from giving offense.
Terry Pratchett
Other people salted away money for their old age, but Nanny preferred to accumulate memories.
Terry Pratchett
TV people in the UK... I'm getting on a lot better with them.
Terry Pratchett
People couldn't become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked.
Terry Pratchett
