Terry Pratchett
It wasn't that Nanny Ogg sang badly. It was just that she could hit notes which, when amplified by a tin bath half full of water, ceased to be sound and became some sort of invasive presence.
Terry Pratchett
You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together and hope.
Terry Pratchett
They obeyed, as wise men do when a woman puts her foot down . . .
Terry Pratchett
The trouble is you can shut your eyes but you can’t shut your mind.
Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwas was not a jouster in the lists of love, but, as an intelligent onlooker, she knew how the game was played.
Terry Pratchett
Multiple exclamation marks, he went on, shaking his head, are a sure sign of a diseased mind.
Terry Pratchett
Ridcully was to management what King Herod was to the Bethlehem Playgroup Association.
Terry Pratchett
