Terry Pratchett
He had about the same life expectancy as a three legged hedgehog on a six lane motorway.
Terry Pratchett
If failure had no penalty success would not be a prize.
Terry Pratchett
IT'S THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR LITTLE FACES I LIKE, said the Hogfather. You mean sort of fear and awe and not knowing whether to laugh or cry or wet their pants? YES. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL BELIEF.
Terry Pratchett
The man gave a shrug which indicated that, although the world did indeed have many problems, this was one of them that was not his.
Terry Pratchett
The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.
Terry Pratchett
