More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
Terry Pratchett
There is always time for another last minute
Terry Pratchett
People don't like to say Fantasy they say Magic Realism which means Fantasy written by somebody I went to university with.
Terry Pratchett
Quit while you're a head, that's what I say.
Terry Pratchett
The universe clearly operates for the benefit of humanity. This can be readily seen from the convenient way the sun comes up in the morning, when people are ready to start the day.
Terry Pratchett
I can no longer type, so I use TalkingPoint and Dragon Dictate. It's a speech-to-text program, and there's an add-on for talking which some guys came up with.
Terry Pratchett
I would like you to teach [the orcs] civilised behaviour, said Ladyship coldly. He appeared to consider this. Yes of course, I think that would be quite possible, he said. And who would you send to teach the humans?
Terry Pratchett
The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind you honking.
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
Albert grunted. Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions? Mort thought for a moment. No, he said eventually, what? There was silence. Then Albert straightened up and said, Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right.
Terry Pratchett
I just rearrange words into a pleasing order for money.
Terry Pratchett
People's whole lives do pass in front of their eye before they die. The process is called Living.
Terry Pratchett
Incidentally, it's best not to argue with the nursing staff. I find the best course of action is to throw some chocolates in one direction and hurry off in the other while their attention is distracted.
Terry Pratchett
Everything is a test.
Terry Pratchett
He felt that the darkness was full of unimaginable horrors - and the trouble with unimaginable horrors was that they were only too easy to imagine.
Terry Pratchett
What is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you're hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.
Terry Pratchett
When much is taken, something is returned.
Terry Pratchett
… you were so worried about legal and illegal that you never stopped to think about whether it was right or wrong.
Terry Pratchett
It's daft, locking us up, said Nanny. I'd have had us killed. That's because you're basically good, said Magrat. The good are innocent and create justice. The bad are guilty, which is why they invent mercy.
Terry Pratchett
Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point MY POINT EXACTLY.
