More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.
Terry Pratchett
All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you were badly dressed.
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
Quit while you're a head, that's what I say.
Terry Pratchett
Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
Terry Pratchett
I don't really plan. I'm almost intuitive about things.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
No one remembers the singer. The song remains.
Terry Pratchett
The thing about stories is you have to pick the ones that last.
Terry Pratchett
Even the blind and meek and voiceless have gods.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Oh, come on. Revelation was a mushroom dream that belonged in the Apocrypha. The New Testament is basically about what happened when God got religion.
Terry Pratchett
Cats gravitate to kitchens like rocks gravitate to gravity.
Terry Pratchett
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
The kind of accidents you prefer to call...accidents.
Terry Pratchett
Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake off.
Terry Pratchett
A police procedural novel can be even funnier if the police include Trolls and Dwarves and things like that. You start looking at the whole basis of the cop novel. You get the cop moving in a different way when you've actually set it in a fantasy city.
