Terry Pratchett
An Assassin, a real Assassin had to look like one-black clothes, hood, boots, and all. If they could wear any clothes, any disguise, then what could anyone do but spend all day in a small room with a loaded crossbow pointed at the door?
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
A true beanie should have a propellor on the top.
Terry Pratchett
Freedom without limits is just a word.
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
The Auditors fluttered anxiously. And, as always happens in their species when something goes radically wrong and needs fixing instantly, they settled down to try to work how who was to blame.
Terry Pratchett
A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.
Terry Pratchett
Because some stories end, but old stories go on, and you gotta dance to the music if you want to stay ahead
Terry Pratchett
Where's the pleasure in bein' the winner if the loser ain't alive to know they've lost?
Terry Pratchett
First Sight means you can see what really is there, and Second Thoughts mean thinking about what you are thinking. And in Tiffany's case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts although these...sometimes led her to walk into doors.
Terry Pratchett
