A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.
Terry Pratchett
Quit while you're a head, that's what I say.
Terry Pratchett
Animals never spend time dividing experience into little bits and speculating about all the bits they've missed. The whole panoply of the universe has been neatly expressed to them as things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks.
Terry Pratchett
A hardback's harder at Christmas time because that's a good hardback buying time.
Terry Pratchett
In Genua, someone set out to make dreams come true. Remember some of your dreams?
Terry Pratchett
The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone knew there were wolves in the mountains, but they seldom came near the village-the modern wolves were the offspring of ancestors that had survived because they had learned that human meat had sharp edges.
Terry Pratchett
There are millions of chords. There are millions of numbers. And everyone forgets the one that is a zero. But without the zero, numbers are just arithmetic. Without the empty chord, music is just noise.
Terry Pratchett
You know I've never agreed with baths. Sittin' around in your own dirt like that.
Terry Pratchett
Fantasy is uni-age. You can start it in the creche, and it follows you to death.
Terry Pratchett
Multiple exclamation marks, he went on, shaking his head, are a sure sign of a diseased mind.
Terry Pratchett
Putting up a statue to someone who tried to stop a war is not very, um, statuesque. Of course, if you had butchered five hundred of your own men out of arrogant carelessness, we'd be melting the bronze already.
Terry Pratchett
I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult, and I decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces that I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have.
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
My programming language was solder.
Terry Pratchett
There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be.
Terry Pratchett
All property is theft, except mine.
Terry Pratchett
...William wondered why he always disliked people who said 'no offense meant.' Maybe it was because they found it easier to to say 'no offense meant' than actually to refrain from giving offense.
Terry Pratchett
There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - I'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
Terry Pratchett
Are you a philosopher? Where's your sponge?
