More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Some shadows are so long, they arrive before the light.
Terry Pratchett
You've got a lot of time for abstract thought when you've got your hand stuck up a dead badger.
Terry Pratchett
The sun is simple. A sword is simple. A storm is simple. Behind everything simple is a huge tail of complicated.
Terry Pratchett
You can't die with an unfinished book.
Terry Pratchett
You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together and hope.
Terry Pratchett
Perhaps, if you knew you were going to die, your senses crammed in as much detail as they could while they still had the chance.
Terry Pratchett
Shoes, men, coffins never accept the first one you see.
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
Money is an unavoidable consequence, but it isn't the reason I write if it was, I wouldn't have written any of the YA books, because advances in that field are small compared to what I'd got now for an 'adult' DW.
Terry Pratchett
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
If there were such a thing as an inter-city thieving contest, Ankh-Morpork would bring home the trophy and probably everyone’s wallets.
Terry Pratchett
Let's see, now... in HOGFATHER there are a number of stabbings, someone's killed by a man made of knives, someone's killed by the dark, and someone just been killed by a wardrobe. It's a book about the magic of childhood. You can tell.
Terry Pratchett
Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,' the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
Terry Pratchett
I may be daft but I'm no' stupid!
Terry Pratchett
I commend my soul to any god that can find it.
Terry Pratchett
Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it's all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place.
Terry Pratchett
Rincewind gave his fingers a long shocked stare, as one might regard a gun that has been hanging on the wall for decades and has suddenly gone off and perforated the cat.
Terry Pratchett
People don't like to say Fantasy they say Magic Realism which means Fantasy written by somebody I went to university with.
Terry Pratchett
I'm a fantasy writer, called a fantasy writer. But there's very little, apart from one or two basic concepts in 'I Shall Wear Midnight,' which are in fact fantasy. You have sticks that fly, but they're practical broomsticks, with a bloody great strap that you can hold on to so you don't fall off. And you try not to use them too often.
Terry Pratchett
There are thousands of good reasons why magic doesn't rule the world. They're called Witches and Wizards.
Terry Pratchett
