More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Just call in at the torturer on your way out. See when he can fit you in.
Terry Pratchett
It was quite impossible to describe. Here is what it looked like. It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt Paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon.

Terry Pratchett
Rings try to find their way back to their owner. Someone ought to write a book about it.
Terry Pratchett
And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: Psst!
Terry Pratchett
No matter what she did with her hair it took about three minutes for it to tangle itself up again, like a garden hosepipe in a shed [Which, no matter how carefully coiled, will always uncoil overnight and tie the lawnmower to the bicycles].
Terry Pratchett
And what are you doing on it, I would like to know? Running away from home, yesno? If you were a boy I'd say are you going to seek your fortune? Can't girls seek their fortune? I think they're supposed to seek a boy with a fortune.
Terry Pratchett
There was no himself in himself.
Terry Pratchett
TV people in the UK... I'm getting on a lot better with them.
Terry Pratchett
This time it had been magic. And it didn't stop being magic just because you found out how it was done.
Terry Pratchett
I don't think a baker reads an awful lot about bread.
Terry Pratchett
People are often so busy living that they never stop to wonder why.
Terry Pratchett
