More quotes by Terry Pratchett
All was black, gloomy and awful. There was no light at the end of the tunnel - or if there was, it was an oncoming train.
Terry Pratchett
Science fiction is fantasy with bolts painted on outside.
Terry Pratchett
There were no lies here. All fancies fled away. That's what happened in all deserts. It was just you, and what you believed.
Terry Pratchett
They always gives me bath salts, complained Nobby. And bath soap and bubble bath and herbal bath lumps and tons of bath stuff and I can't think why, 'cos it's not as if I hardly ever has a bath. You'd think they'd take the hint, wouldn't you?
Terry Pratchett
Raise the stakes! Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.
Terry Pratchett
The key to winning, as always, was looking as if you had every right, nay, duty to be where you were. It helped if you could also suggest in every line of your body that no one else had any rights to be doing anything, anywhere, whatsoever.
Terry Pratchett
The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.
Terry Pratchett
We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork.
Terry Pratchett
Granny sighed. You have learned something, she said, and thought it safe to insert a touch of sternness into her voice. They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Terry Pratchett
The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.
Terry Pratchett
Vampires have risen from the dead, the grave, and the crypt, but have never managed it from the cat.
Terry Pratchett
I can't be talking to a tree. If I was talking to a tree I'd be mad, and I'm not mad, so trees can't talk.
Terry Pratchett
You can't second-guess ineffability, I always say.
Terry Pratchett
I can see we're going to get along like a house on fire, said Miss Tick. There may be no survivors.
Terry Pratchett
But is all this true? said Brutha. Didactylos shrugged. Could be. Could be. We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork. You mean you don't KNOW it's true? said Brutha. I THINK it might be, said Didactylos. I could be wrong. Not being certain is what being a philosopher is all abou
Terry Pratchett
It's not morbid to talk about death. Most people don't worry about death, they worry about a bad death.
Terry Pratchett
I have to write because if I don't get something down then after a while I feel it's going to bang the side of my head off.
Terry Pratchett
I do note with interest that old women in my books become young women on the covers... this is discrimination against the chronologically gifted.
Terry Pratchett
Rumour is information distilled so finely that it can filter through anything. It does not need doors and windows -- sometimes it does not need people. It can exist free and wild, running from ear to ear without ever touching lips.
Terry Pratchett
I'd like to stand up for the rights of people who put everything on their burger - chutney, mustard, pickle, mustard pickle, tomato sauce... It is common knowledge in my family that I can't tell the difference between a veggie burger and a meat one, because the ratio of burger to pickles is so high.
Terry Pratchett
