Terry Pratchett
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Terry Pratchett
Raising the flag and singing the anthem are, while somewhat suspicious, not in themselves acts of treason.
Terry Pratchett
Just because you've got a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you have to treat everyone else like a nail
Terry Pratchett
The book is not completely written until someone else has read it.
Terry Pratchett
He looked up at them, a scruffy Napoleon with his laces trailing, exiled to a rose-trellised Elba.
Terry Pratchett
I'm sorry, I just got carried away, hissed Aziraphale.
Terry Pratchett
There were no lies here. All fancies fled away. That's what happened in all deserts. It was just you, and what you believed.
Terry Pratchett
Insofar as he'd formed any opinion of her, it was that she suffered from misplaced gentility and the mistaken belief that etiquette meant good breeding. She mistook mannerisms for manners.
Terry Pratchett
The conversation of human beings seldom interested him, but it crossed his mind that the males and females always got along best when neither actually listened fully to what the other one was saying.
