More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I don't read an awful lot of fiction and when I do, it tends to be lightweight stuff.
Terry Pratchett
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
Terry Pratchett
I must have read every issue of 'Punch' published in the 20th century, and I think in the process I picked up the true voice of English humour - that amiable, fairly liberal, laconic voice which you find in something like 'Three Men in a Boat.'
Terry Pratchett
Imagination, not intelligence, made us human.
Terry Pratchett
Imagination is only intelligence having fun. A healthy mind knows how to switch between worlds, and which one you need to eat and sleep in.
Terry Pratchett
Don't do anything I wouldn't do, if you ever find anything I wouldn't do.
Terry Pratchett
If you try to to take my bananas from me, I will reclaim them from your cold dead hands.
Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax was firmly against fiction. Life was hard enough without lies floating around and changing the way people thought.
Terry Pratchett
but what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?
Terry Pratchett
Good or bad, do it as you. Too many lies and there's no truth to go back to.
Terry Pratchett
Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can.
Terry Pratchett
Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.
Terry Pratchett
I don't think a baker reads an awful lot about bread.
Terry Pratchett
What's money interested in? More money.
Terry Pratchett
All was black, gloomy and awful. There was no light at the end of the tunnel - or if there was, it was an oncoming train.
Terry Pratchett
We who think we are about to die will laugh at anything.
Terry Pratchett
The thing with crowns is, it isn't the putting them on that's the problem, it's the taking them off.
Terry Pratchett
You haven't really been anywhere until you've got back home.
Terry Pratchett
They can tak' oour lives but they canna tak' oour troousers!
Terry Pratchett
In Genua, someone set out to make dreams come true. Remember some of your dreams?
Terry Pratchett
