More quotes by Terry Pratchett
First of all you are a writer, a writer is what you are, so it doesn't actually stop the moment you leave your desk, your computer, your keyboard, whatever. Something is operating the back of your mind.
Terry Pratchett
By the time you've reached your sixties, you do know that one day you will die, and knowing that is at least the beginning of wisdom.
Terry Pratchett
Incidentally, it's best not to argue with the nursing staff. I find the best course of action is to throw some chocolates in one direction and hurry off in the other while their attention is distracted.
Terry Pratchett
Dark Fantasy is just another way of saying Horror.
Terry Pratchett
The kind of accidents you prefer to call...accidents.
Terry Pratchett

That would just be noise, and all that noise could create is more noise and a cosmos full of random particles. Matter exploded into being, apparently as chaos, but in fact as a chord. The ultimate power chord.
Terry Pratchett
You can think and you can fight, but the world's always movin', and if you wanna stay ahead you gotta dance.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Oh, come on. Revelation was a mushroom dream that belonged in the Apocrypha. The New Testament is basically about what happened when God got religion.
Terry Pratchett
Light died in the west. Night and tears took the Nation. The star of Water drifted among the clouds like a murderer softly leaving the scene of the crime.
Terry Pratchett
When all else failed, she tried being reasonable.
Terry Pratchett
It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there.
Terry Pratchett
Just because you've got a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you have to treat everyone else like a nail
Terry Pratchett
Bill Door was impressed. Miss Flitworth could actually give the word revenue, which had two vowels and one diphthong, all the peremptoriness of the word scum.
Terry Pratchett
Making money isn't something to be ashamed of. There's a feeling now that if you have money you must have got it by some kind of shady dealing or being an MP.
Terry Pratchett
A weapon you held and didn't know how to use belonged to your enemy.
Terry Pratchett
And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.
Terry Pratchett
Thats how we survive infinity - we kill it by breaking it up into small bits.
Terry Pratchett
But there was more to it than that. As the Amazing Maurice said, it was just a story about people and rats. And the difficult part of it was deciding who the people were, and who were the rats.
