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
Either all days are holy or none are.
Terry Pratchett
They looked at one another in incomprehension, two minds driving opposite ways up a narrow street and waiting for the other man to reverse first.
Terry Pratchett
I staggered into a Manchester bar late one night on a tour and the waitress said You look as if you need a Screaming Orgasm. At the time this was the last thing on my mind.
Terry Pratchett
Because some stories end, but old stories go on, and you gotta dance to the music if you want to stay ahead
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
