More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Did I do anything last night that suggested I was sane?
Terry Pratchett
You can think and you can fight, but the world's always movin', and if you wanna stay ahead you gotta dance.
Terry Pratchett
Never trust any complicated cocktail that remains perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in, and then immediately clouds.
Terry Pratchett
The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.
Terry Pratchett
First Thoughts are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. Third Thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. Listening to them is part of witchcraft.
Terry Pratchett
By the time you write the last page you have done half the book. The other half tends to get done in about five weeks I do several drafts, very, very furiously rewriting. I literally do more or less nothing else and I stick with it and go through it and I begin to hate it.
Terry Pratchett
You will have to look a long way before you find a bunch of scum-suckers more greedy, humourless and deserving of death than the suits in the music business.
Terry Pratchett
I don’t think it's weak to admit you made a mistake. That takes strength, if you ask me.
Terry Pratchett
Right! Right! You can get there! I can get there! You're a natural at counting to two! I'm a nat'ral at counting to two! If you can count to two, you can count to anything! If I can count to two, I can count to anything! And then the world is your mollusc! My mollusc! What's a mollusc?
Terry Pratchett
Mr Lipwig, there's a lady in the hall to see you and we've thanked her for not smoking three times and she's still doing it!
Terry Pratchett
I see evil when I look in my shaving mirror. It is, philosophically, present everywhere in the universe in order, apparently, to highlight the existence of good. I think there is more to this theory, but I tend to burst out laughing at this point.
Terry Pratchett
Welcome to fear, said Moist to himself. It's hope, turned inside out. You know it can't go wrong, you're sure it can't go wrong... But it might.
Terry Pratchett
I used to think that I was stupid, and then I met philosophers.
Terry Pratchett
Personally, I think the best motto for an educational establishment is: 'Or Would You Rather Be a Mule?'
Terry Pratchett
Words are the litmus paper of the mind.
Terry Pratchett
All property is theft, except mine.
Terry Pratchett
I don't really plan. I'm almost intuitive about things.
Terry Pratchett
I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult, and I decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces that I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have.
Terry Pratchett
Some people think this is paranoia, but it isn't. Paranoids only think everyone is out to get them. Wizards know it.
Terry Pratchett
You know I've never agreed with baths. Sittin' around in your own dirt like that.
Terry Pratchett
