More quotes by Terry Pratchett
All he knew was that you couldn't hope to try for the big stuff, like world peace and happiness, but you might just about be able to achieve some tiny deed that'd make the world, in a small way, a better place. Like shooting someone.
Terry Pratchett
Don't look back! Why not? Because I just did! Run faster!
Terry Pratchett
Go anywhere you wish, talk to everyone. Ask any questions you will be given answers. When you want to learn, you will be taught. Use the library. Open any book.
Terry Pratchett
Many an ancient lord's last words have been, 'You can't kill me because I've got magic aaargh.'
Terry Pratchett
If you don't know when to be a human being, you don't know when to be a witch.
Terry Pratchett
Nanny Ogg never did any housework herself, but she was the cause of housework in other people.
Terry Pratchett
We who think we are about to die will laugh at anything.
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
It was like being in a Jane Austen novel, but one with far less clothing.
Terry Pratchett
But there was more to it than that. As the Amazing Maurice said, it was just a story about people and rats. And the difficult part of it was deciding who the people were, and who were the rats.
Terry Pratchett
It wasn't that Nanny Ogg sang badly. It was just that she could hit notes which, when amplified by a tin bath half full of water, ceased to be sound and became some sort of invasive presence.
Terry Pratchett
Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.
Terry Pratchett
I can no longer type, so I use TalkingPoint and Dragon Dictate. It's a speech-to-text program, and there's an add-on for talking which some guys came up with.
Terry Pratchett
Why bother with a cunning plan when a simple one will do?
Terry Pratchett
Cats will amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw.
Terry Pratchett
Where's the pleasure in bein' the winner if the loser ain't alive to know they've lost?
Terry Pratchett
Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way. It's good for the hygiene of the brain.
Terry Pratchett
It's an old magical principle - it's even filtered down into RPG systems - that magic, while taking a lot of effort, can be 'stored' - in a staff, for example. No doubt a wizard spends a little time each day charging up his staff, although you go blind if you do it too much, of course.
Terry Pratchett
There is no doubt that being human is incredibly difficult and cannot be mastered in one lifetime.
Terry Pratchett
