Terry Pratchett
You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together and hope.
Terry Pratchett
She was convinced that she was anorexic, because every time she looked in the mirror she did indeed see a fat person.
Terry Pratchett
And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.
Terry Pratchett
If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.
Terry Pratchett
This looks like a job for inadvisably applied magic if ever I saw one.
Terry Pratchett
He stared at his feet. “I’m still very ignorant,” he said, “but at least I’m ignorant about really important things.
Terry Pratchett
If you really want to upset a witch, do her a favor which she has no means of repaying. The unfulfilled obligation will nag at her like a hangnail.
Terry Pratchett
