More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Probably the last sound heard before the Universe folded up like a paper hat would be someone saying, What happens if I do this?
Terry Pratchett
The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel. This is essentially the basis of all military thinking.
Terry Pratchett
The thing with crowns is, it isn't the putting them on that's the problem, it's the taking them off.
Terry Pratchett
Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can.
Terry Pratchett
Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often students, for heaven's sake.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
The trouble with life was that you didn’t get a chance to practice before doing it for real.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone is reading what they like and that's a good thing.
Terry Pratchett
Whatever you choose, your choice will mean there are two new worlds. And perhaps sometimes, on the edge of sleep, we will see the shadow of the other world. There will be no unhappy memories.
Terry Pratchett
I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel.
Terry Pratchett
You did something because it had always been done, and the explanation was, ‘But we’ve always done it this way.’ A million dead people can’t have been wrong, can they?
Terry Pratchett
Either dragons should exist completely or fail to exist at all, he felt. A dragon only half-existing was worse than the extremes.
Terry Pratchett
No one thinks that young adults read hooks for YOUNG ADULTS, books for young adults are read by kids.
Terry Pratchett
Why not? If enough people believe, you can be god of anything.
Terry Pratchett
You can't find a hermit to teach you herming, because of course that rather spoils the whole thing.
Terry Pratchett
