More quotes by Terry Pratchett
The best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I've got Alzheimer's.
Terry Pratchett
Seeing things a human shouldn't have to see makes us human.
Terry Pratchett
There is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.
Terry Pratchett
It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever he said. Have you thought of going into teaching?
Terry Pratchett
Good or bad, do it as you. Too many lies and there's no truth to go back to.
Terry Pratchett
The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.
Terry Pratchett
The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.
Terry Pratchett
I once absent-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce.
Terry Pratchett
When people say clearly something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all.
Terry Pratchett
A true beanie should have a propellor on the top.
Terry Pratchett
There are thousands of good reasons why magic doesn't rule the world. They're called Witches and Wizards.
Terry Pratchett
First of all you are a writer, a writer is what you are, so it doesn't actually stop the moment you leave your desk, your computer, your keyboard, whatever. Something is operating the back of your mind.
Terry Pratchett
Coffee is a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your older self.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes you can think that 'I've had enough of wizards!' And sometimes fantasy is not just about wizards.
Terry Pratchett
Truly, he thought, the way of enlightenment is like unto half a mile of broken glass.
Terry Pratchett
The important thing about adventures, thought Mr. Bunnsy, was that they shouldn't be so long as to make you miss mealtimes.
Terry Pratchett
The characters are the plot. What they do and say and the things that happen to them are, in a sense, what the plot is. You can't take character and plot apart from each other, really.
Terry Pratchett
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
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
Shoes, men, coffins never accept the first one you see.
Terry Pratchett
