More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
Terry Pratchett
One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
Terry Pratchett
Most of my schooldays were the worst day of my life.
Terry Pratchett
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
Terry Pratchett
Things just happen. What the hell.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
The trouble was that he was talking in philosophy but they were listening in gibberish.
Terry Pratchett
Good or bad, do it as you. Too many lies and there's no truth to go back to.
Terry Pratchett
...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.
Terry Pratchett
Lots of people would be as cowardly as me if they were brave enough.
Terry Pratchett
Whatever you choose, your choice will mean there are two new worlds. And perhaps sometimes, on the edge of sleep, we will see the shadow of the other world. There will be no unhappy memories.
Terry Pratchett
- DON’T WORRY, IT WON’T BE FOREVER. - Good. - IT MAY SEEM LIKE FOREVER.
Terry Pratchett
In her own special category, she was quite beautiful. This was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at.
Terry Pratchett
Next comes the realist phase (After all, from a purely geometrical point of view a cat is only a tube with a door at the top.)
Terry Pratchett
People's whole lives do pass in front of their eye before they die. The process is called Living.
Terry Pratchett
This was not a fairy-tale castle and there was no such thing as a fairy-tale ending, but sometimes you could threaten to kick the handsome prince in the ham-and-eggs.
Terry Pratchett
Nigel gave the lamp a cautious buff and small smoking red letters appeared in the air. Hi, Nigel read aloud, Do not put down the lamp because your custom is important to us. Please leave a wish after the tone and, very shortly, it will be our command. In the meantime, have a nice eternity.
Terry Pratchett
