More quotes by Terry Pratchett
It was one of those problematic occasions with long silences, sporadic coughs, and people saying isolated things like, Well, isn't this nice.
Terry Pratchett
All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you were badly dressed.
Terry Pratchett
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
Terry Pratchett
There have been times, lately, when I dearly wished that I could change the past. Well, I can’t, but I can change the present, so that when it becomes the past it will turn out to be a past worth having.

She was also, by the standards of other people, lost. She would not see it like that. She knew where she was, it was just that everywhere else didn't.
Terry Pratchett
It's hard to explain, said Brutha. But I think it's got something to do with how people should behave... you should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.
Terry Pratchett
But that was just it - hate was exactly the right word. Hate is a force of attraction. Hate is just love with its back turned.
Terry Pratchett
I think, he said, I think, if you want thousands, you have to fight for one.
Terry Pratchett
You get a wonderful view from the point of no return.
Terry Pratchett
Bishops move diagonally. That's why they often turn up where the kings don't expect them to be.
Terry Pratchett
My agent pointed out one day that I had been quoted by a columnist in some American newspaper, and he noted with some glee that they simply identified me by name without reminding people who I was, apparently in the clear expectation that their readers would know who I am.
Terry Pratchett
It is a long-cherished tradition among a certain type of military thinker that huge casualties are the main thing. If they are on the other side then this is a valuable bonus.
