People's whole lives do pass in front of their eye before they die. The process is called Living.
Terry Pratchett
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but her's curiosity could have massacred a pride of lions.
Terry Pratchett
He'd heard that writers spent all day in their dressing gowns drinking champagne. This is, of course, absolutely true.
Terry Pratchett
Once you've ruled out the impossible then whatever is left, however improbable, must be the truth. The problem lay in working out what was impossible, of course. That was the trick, all right. There was also the curious incident of the orangutan in the night-time.
Terry Pratchett
If Not You, Who Else?
Terry Pratchett
People aren't just people, they are people surrounded by circumstances.

I would like permission to fetch a note from my mother, sir' Ridcully sighed.

Would you like another try?' 'Permission to go and find my mother?'
Terry Pratchett
It's not Brits who think American readers are a bunch of whinging morons with the geo-social understanding of a wire coathanger, it's American editors.
Terry Pratchett
I think, he said, I think, if you want thousands, you have to fight for one.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon -- he'd run them all.
Terry Pratchett
This was not a fairy-tale castle and there was no such thing as a fairy-tale ending, but sometimes you could threaten to kick the handsome prince in the ham-and-eggs.
Terry Pratchett
There's a lot of science in it, and as Slartibartfast [in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] said: 'I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.' I've never, ever been able to do one. I remember one occasion at Warwick University, when Jack and Ian were at their wits' end because I couldn't get it. I felt totally ashamed.
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
I've got wide tastes, but I don't like jazz.
