More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Time was something that largely happened to other people he viewed it in the same way that people on the shore viewed the sea. It was big and it was out there, and sometimes it was an invigorating thing to dip a toe into, but you couldn't live in it all the time. Besides, it always made his skin wrinkle.
Terry Pratchett
I may be daft but I'm no' stupid!
Terry Pratchett
I intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod. Oh, and since this is England, I had better add, If wet, in the library. Who could say that this is bad?
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
People couldn't become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked.
Terry Pratchett
Of course, Ankh-Morpork's citizens had always claimed that the river water was incredibly pure. Any water that had passed through so many kidneys, they reasoned, had to be very pure indeed.
Terry Pratchett
When people say clearly something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all.
Terry Pratchett
I was a very keen reader of science fiction.
Terry Pratchett
I must confess the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occurred to him.
Terry Pratchett
...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.
Terry Pratchett
A true beanie should have a propellor on the top.
Terry Pratchett
You did something because it had always been done, and the explanation was, ‘But we’ve always done it this way.’ A million dead people can’t have been wrong, can they?
Terry Pratchett
How do you get all those coins? asked Mort. IN PAIRS.
Terry Pratchett
Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.
