More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I'm up to my neck in the real world, every day. Just you try doing your VAT return with a head full of goblins.
Terry Pratchett
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.
Terry Pratchett
Are you a devious, plotting, unreliable madman? Ah, good, then you can be my most trusted advisor.
Terry Pratchett
Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get out.
Terry Pratchett
I like the idea of democracy. You have to have someone everyone distrusts.
Terry Pratchett
I can't stand any music that requires its singers to be so dumb they wear their baseball caps backwards.
Terry Pratchett
One of the highlights of the first Good Omens tour was Neil and I walking through New York singing Shoehorn with Teeth. Well, we'd had a good breakfast. And you don't get mugged, either.
Terry Pratchett
Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That's something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.
Terry Pratchett
Questions don't have to make sense, Vincent, said Miss Susan. But answers do.
Terry Pratchett
Look out! He's got a daisy!
Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax, who had walked nightly without fear in the bandit-haunted forests of the mountains all her life in the certain knowledge that the darkness held nothing more terrible than she was.
Terry Pratchett
Life is just chemicals. A drop here, a drip there, everything's changed. A mere dribble of fermented juices and sudenlly you're going to live another few hours.
Terry Pratchett
You've got a lot of time for abstract thought when you've got your hand stuck up a dead badger.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble with life was that you didn’t get a chance to practice before doing it for real.
Terry Pratchett
My character - and for that matter my worst habits - could only be described by someone else. You can't open a box with the crowbar inside it.
Terry Pratchett
It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could, but you were still alive.
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
Nanny Ogg never did any housework herself, but she was the cause of housework in other people.
Terry Pratchett
Quit while you're a head, that's what I say.
Terry Pratchett
A hardback's harder at Christmas time because that's a good hardback buying time.
Terry Pratchett
