More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Lord Vetinari lifted an eyebrow with the care of one who, having found a piece of caterpillar in his salad, raises the rest of the lettuce.
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
History, contrary to popular theories, is kings and dates and battles.
Terry Pratchett
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
Terry Pratchett
A Duke couldn't have the arse hanging out of his trousers when meeting foreign diplomats. Actually even plain old Sam Vimes never had the arse hanging out of his trousers, either, but no one would have actually started a war if he had.
Terry Pratchett
A good banana daiquiri is hard to come by. I've only ever found one place in this country that makes a proper one, and that's in Leeds.
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
You can't build a plot out of jokes. You need tragic relief. And you need to let people know that when a lot of frightened people are running around with edged weaponry, there are deaths. Stupid deaths, usually. I'm not writing 'The A-Team' - if there's a fight going on, people will get hurt. Not letting this happen would be a betrayal.
Terry Pratchett
The point of page one is to make people turn to page two and if at the end of the book people think that the book was good value for money, you have achieved something, because if you haven't achieved those things you're not going to achieve the other thing.
Terry Pratchett
Few things are hidden from a quiet child with good eyesight.
Terry Pratchett
I can't stand any music that requires its singers to be so dumb they wear their baseball caps backwards.
Terry Pratchett
When you stand between two mirrors you're spread out among the images, your whole soul is pulled out thin, and somewhere in the distant images a dark part of you might get out and come looking for you, if you aren't careful.
Terry Pratchett
Every procedure for getting a cat to take a pill works fine - once. Like the Borg, they learn.
Terry Pratchett
A bad hunter chases. A good hunter waits.
Terry Pratchett
There was this about vampires : they could never look scruffy. Instead, they were... what was the word... deshabille. It meant untidy, but with bags and bags of style.
Terry Pratchett
I staggered into a Manchester bar late one night on a tour and the waitress said You look as if you need a Screaming Orgasm. At the time this was the last thing on my mind.

You have reached the end of cake
Terry Pratchett
Knowing how bad you could be is a great encouragement to being good.
Terry Pratchett
The thing with crowns is, it isn't the putting them on that's the problem, it's the taking them off.
