Terry Pratchett
The librarians were mysterious. It was said they could tell what book you needed just by looking at you, and they could take your voice away with a word.
Terry Pratchett
There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - I'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
Terry Pratchett
Vimes had got around to a Clean Desk policy. It was a Clean Floor strategy that eluded him at the moment.
Terry Pratchett
Either dragons should exist completely or fail to exist at all, he felt. A dragon only half-existing was worse than the extremes.

Everywhere I look, I see something holy.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Because some stories end, but old stories go on, and you gotta dance to the music if you want to stay ahead
Terry Pratchett
But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever - provided, naturally, that you don't go and look. This is known as finance.
Terry Pratchett
You just put that sword away, sir, please, said the voice of Lance-Constable Vimes. You will not shoot me, you young idiot. That would be murder, said the captain calmly. Not where I'm aiming, sir.
Terry Pratchett
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...
Terry Pratchett
What I've always said was, hang in there, let me write what I want to write, and you'll probably like it.
Terry Pratchett
Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.
Terry Pratchett

You have sticks that fly, but they're practical broomsticks, with a bloody great strap that you can hold on to so you don't fall off. And you try not to use them too often.
Terry Pratchett
How do you get all those coins? asked Mort. IN PAIRS.
