More quotes by Terry Pratchett
It was like being in a Jane Austen novel, but one with far less clothing.
Terry Pratchett
This looks like a job for inadvisably applied magic if ever I saw one.
Terry Pratchett
One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
Terry Pratchett
There are some people who hate my guts. But that goes with the territory.
Terry Pratchett
What can the harvest hope for...
Terry Pratchett
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.
Terry Pratchett
He'd always known that the world was an interesting place, and his imagination had peopled it with pirates and bandits and spies and astronauts and similar. But he'd also had a nagging suspicion that, when you seriously got right down to it, they were all just things in books and didn't properly exist anymore.
Terry Pratchett
Even if it's not your fault, it's your responsibility.
Terry Pratchett
Raising the flag and singing the anthem are, while somewhat suspicious, not in themselves acts of treason.
Terry Pratchett
A European says: I can't understand this, what's wrong with me? An American says: I can't understand this, what's wrong with him? I make no suggestion that one side or other is right, but observation over many years leads me to believe it is true.
Terry Pratchett
Rings try to find their way back to their owner. Someone ought to write a book about it.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes I feel that the world is made up of sensible people who know the plot and bloody idiots who don't.
Terry Pratchett
One day I'll work out what it is you are saying, my lad, and then you'll be in trouble.
Terry Pratchett
Be careful what you wish for. You never know who will be listening.
Terry Pratchett
They felt, in fact, tremendously bucked-up, which was how Lady Ramkin would almost certainly have put it and which was definitely several letters of the alphabet away from how they normally felt.
Terry Pratchett
Too much magic could wrap time and space around itself, and that wasn't good news for the kind of person who had grown used to things like effects following things like causes.
Terry Pratchett
Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show.
Terry Pratchett
That was the very centre of his genius - he invented things that anyone could have thought of, and men who can invent things that anyone could have thought of are very rare men.
Terry Pratchett
It was also a room full of books and made of books. There was no actual furniture this is to say, the desk and chairs were shaped out of books. It looked as though many of them were frequently referred to, because they lay open with other books used as bookmarks.
Terry Pratchett
Right! Right! You can get there! I can get there! You're a natural at counting to two! I'm a nat'ral at counting to two! If you can count to two, you can count to anything! If I can count to two, I can count to anything! And then the world is your mollusc! My mollusc! What's a mollusc?
