More quotes by Terry Pratchett
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.
Terry Pratchett
Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.
Terry Pratchett
Sergeant Colon of the Ankh-Morpork City Guard was on duty. He was guarding the Brass Bridge, the main link between Ankh and Morpork. From theft. When it came to crime prevention, Sergeant Colon found it safest to think big.
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
But the helmet had gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that wore stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.
Terry Pratchett
Stand before your god, bow before your king, kneel before your man.
Terry Pratchett
Some shadows are so long, they arrive before the light.
Terry Pratchett
There will be justice, said Brutha. If there is no justice, there is nothing.
Terry Pratchett
Technically, the city of Ankh-Morpork is a Tyranny, which is not always the same thing as a monarchy, and in fact even the post of Tyrant has been somewhat redefined by the incumbent, Lord Vetinari, as the only form of democracy that works. Everyone is entitled to vote, unless disqualified by reason of age or not being Lord Vetinari.
Terry Pratchett
Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
Terry Pratchett
Why bother with a cunning plan when a simple one will do?
Terry Pratchett
I don't regret it, you know. I would do it all again. Children are our hope for the future. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, said Death. What does it contain, then? ME.
Terry Pratchett
If you don't know when to be a human being, you don't know when to be a witch.
Terry Pratchett
You will have to look a long way before you find a bunch of scum-suckers more greedy, humourless and deserving of death than the suits in the music business.
Terry Pratchett
Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
Terry Pratchett
Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble is you can shut your eyes but you can’t shut your mind.
Terry Pratchett
I thought it very strange, and very sad, that the fairy kingdom largely appears to be English. I thought it was time for some regional representation. And the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they're like tiny little Scottish Smurfs who have seen Braveheart altogether too many times.
Terry Pratchett
Letitia! What a name. Halfway between a salad and a sneeze.
Terry Pratchett
There was no himself in himself.
