There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.
Terry Pratchett
All tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.
Terry Pratchett
I once absent-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce.
Terry Pratchett
In the end the problem isn't that you have the wrong sort of government for the People, but that you have the wrong sort of People.

Terry Pratchett
Personal’s not the same as important. People just think it is.
Terry Pratchett
Man just went past with a cat on his head.
Terry Pratchett
Ninety percent of true love is acute, ear-burning embarrassment.
Terry Pratchett
They looked at one another in incomprehension, two minds driving opposite ways up a narrow street and waiting for the other man to reverse first.
Terry Pratchett
It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there.
Terry Pratchett
Preston, I don't think this creature could ever find its way into your head. Quite apart from anything else, it seems pretty crowded and complicated to me.
Terry Pratchett
I think, he said, I think, if you want thousands, you have to fight for one.
Terry Pratchett
One of the things forgotten about the human spirit is that while it is, in the right conditions, noble and brave and wonderful, it is also, when you get right down to it, only human.
