More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod. Oh, and since this is England, I had better add, If wet, in the library. Who could say that this is bad?
Terry Pratchett
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
People don't like to say Horror so they say Dark Fantasy because that's Horror wearing a collar and tie.
Terry Pratchett
I reckon that Stonehege was build by the contemporary equivalent of Microsoft, whereas Avebury was definitely an Apple circle.
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
Probably the last sound heard before the Universe folded up like a paper hat would be someone saying, What happens if I do this?
Terry Pratchett
Several sellers of hot meat pies and sausages in a bun had appeared from nowhere and were doing a brisk trade. [Footnote: They always do, everywhere. No-one sees them arrive. The logical explaination is that the franchise includes the stall, the paper hat and a small gas-powered time machine.]
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
I stroll along, talk, I sign books, people buy me drinks, I forget where my hotel is, I get lost and fall into some local body of water... done it hundreds of times.
Terry Pratchett
All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you were badly dressed.
Terry Pratchett
All holy piety in public, and all peeled grapes and self-indulgence in private.
Terry Pratchett
At such times the universe gets a little closer to us. They are strange times, times of beginnings and endings. Dangerous and powerful. And we feel it even if we don't know what it is. These times are not necessarily good, and not necessarily bad. In fact, what they are depends on what *we* are.
Terry Pratchett
If you don't know when to be a human being, you don't know when to be a witch.
Terry Pratchett
NAUGHTY AND NICE? said Death. BUT IT'S EASY TO BE NICE IF YOU'RE RICH. IS THIS FAIR? Albert wanted to argue. He wanted to say, Really? In that case, how come so many of the rich buggers is bastards? And being poor don't mean being naughty, neither.
Terry Pratchett
He's probably their battle poet, too. You mean he makes up heroic songs about famous battles? No, no. He recites poems that frighten the enemy....When a well-trained gonnagle starts to recite, the enemy's ears explode.
Terry Pratchett
Ach, people are always telling us not to do things said Rob Anybody, that's how we ken the most interesting things to do.
Terry Pratchett
I'm sorry, I just got carried away, hissed Aziraphale.
Terry Pratchett
Aziraphale. The Enemy, of course. But an enemy for six thousand years now, which made him a sort of friend.
Terry Pratchett
I wish that the people who sing about the deeds of heroes would think about the people who have to clear up after them.
Terry Pratchett
A Duke couldn't have the arse hanging out of his trousers when meeting foreign diplomats. Actually even plain old Sam Vimes never had the arse hanging out of his trousers, either, but no one would have actually started a war if he had.
