Terry Pratchett
People don't like change. But make the change fast enough and you go from one type of normal to another.
Terry Pratchett
There was a man and he had eight sons. Apart from that, he was nothing more than a comma on the page of History. It's sad, but that's all you can say about some people.

Terry Pratchett
It's actually true that I keep myself going by constantly promising myself that in response for the hard work I will be allowed to do some more hard work later on.
Terry Pratchett
There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.
Terry Pratchett
... the food was good solid stuff for a cold morning, all calories and fat and protein and maybe a vitamin crying softly because it was all alone.
Terry Pratchett
Building a temple didn't mean you believed in gods, it just meant you believed in architecture.
Terry Pratchett
There are some people who hate my guts. But that goes with the territory.
Terry Pratchett
A weapon you held and didn't know how to use belonged to your enemy.
Terry Pratchett
Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man he had the Vote.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
