Terry Pratchett
Look, that's why there's rules, understand? So that you think before you break 'em.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
This is space. It's sometimes called the final frontier. (Except that of course you can't have a final frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier to, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate . . .)
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Natural selection saw to it that professional heroes who at a crucial moment tended to ask themselves questions like 'What is my purpose in life?' very quickly lacked both.
Terry Pratchett
I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say it was god's will when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.
Terry Pratchett
Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.
Terry Pratchett
But I think you have a right to know what it is you’re not being told.
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
He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting 'All the Gods are bastards.'
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

Terry Pratchett
People who didn't need people needed people around to know that they were the kind of people who didn't need people.
