More quotes by 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
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
Don't do anything I wouldn't do, if you ever find anything I wouldn't do.
Terry Pratchett
People needed to believe in gods, if only because it was so hard to believe in people.
Terry Pratchett
This looks like a job for inadvisably applied magic if ever I saw one.
Terry Pratchett
Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,' the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
Terry Pratchett
Progress just means bad things happen faster.
Terry Pratchett
Why bother with a cunning plan when a simple one will do?
Terry Pratchett
The words are easy - most of them have already been invented.
Terry Pratchett
Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it. No, actually it isn't, said Tiffany. Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short.
Terry Pratchett
First Sight means you can see what really is there, and Second Thoughts mean thinking about what you are thinking. And in Tiffany's case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts although these...sometimes led her to walk into doors.
Terry Pratchett
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
Terry Pratchett
Using a metaphor in front of a man as unimaginative as Ridcully was like a red flag to a bu... was like putting something very annoying in front of someone who was annoyed by it.
Terry Pratchett
Knowing things is magical, if other people don't know them.
Terry Pratchett
Adventure! People talked about the idea as if it were something worthwhile, rather than a mess of bad food, no sleep and strange people inexplicably trying to stick pointed objects in bits of you.
Terry Pratchett
I’m a witch. It’s what we do. When it’s nobody else’s business, it’s my business.
Terry Pratchett
Anyway, why would you trust anything written down? She certainly didn't trust Mothers of Borogravia! and that was from the government. And if you couldn't trust the government, who could you trust? Very nearly everyone, come to think of it.
Terry Pratchett
A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest ... because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her.
Terry Pratchett
They suffered from the terrible delusion that something could be done. They seemed prepared to make the world the way they wanted it or die in the attempt, and the trouble with dying in the attempt was that you died in the attempt.
Terry Pratchett
