More quotes by Terry Pratchett
The thing is, 'Discworld' had been going on for a very long time, and I've written children's books as well. Usually when people have a really big series they franchise it, which I thought is a bit of a no-no, so I thought what I'd do is I'd franchise it to myself.

Fantasy is uni-age. You can start it in the creche, and it follows you to death.

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
Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.
Terry Pratchett
I don’t think it's weak to admit you made a mistake. That takes strength, if you ask me.
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
You have so many sources to draw on when you're a fantasy writer.
Terry Pratchett
Every step is a first step if it's a step in the right direction.
Terry Pratchett
Other people salted away money for their old age, but Nanny preferred to accumulate memories.
Terry Pratchett
Mere animals couldn’t possibly manage to act like this. You need to be a human being to be really stupid.
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
For example, the dwarfs found out how to turn lead into gold by doing it the hard way. The difference between that and the easy way is that the hard way works.
