More quotes by Terry Pratchett
It was then that Marvin got religion. Not the quiet, personal kind, that involves doing good deeds and living a better life not even the kind that involves putting on a suit and ringing people's doorbells but the kind that involves having your own TV network and getting people to send you money.
Terry Pratchett
If you don't know when to be a human being, you don't know when to be a witch.
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
I can't be talking to a tree. If I was talking to a tree I'd be mad, and I'm not mad, so trees can't talk.
Terry Pratchett
I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called 'The Truth'.
Terry Pratchett
Aziraphale. The Enemy, of course. But an enemy for six thousand years now, which made him a sort of friend.
Terry Pratchett
Everything is a test.
Terry Pratchett
After you've been working fairly intensively on a novel for six months you never want to see the damn thing again.
Terry Pratchett
Some shadows are so long, they arrive before the light.
Terry Pratchett
I like the idea of democracy. You have to have someone everyone distrusts.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.
Terry Pratchett
You'll see! We're going to the palace. Fetch Angua. We might need her. And bring the search warrant. You mean the sledgehammer, sir? Yes.
