More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I'm not cruel, sir, I won't shoot you in the guts, but I will make you realize how much you took your toes for granted.
Terry Pratchett
Needless to say, they refused to submit to the Empire, conducting such a persistent guerrilla war that the Romans gave up hope of conquering Scotland, and the Wee Free Men remained both wee and free.
Terry Pratchett
A hardback's harder at Christmas time because that's a good hardback buying time.
Terry Pratchett
Young adults that actually read are reading bodice rippers and best-sellers and me. And Horror.

All he knew was that you couldn't hope to try for the big stuff, like world peace and happiness, but you might just about be able to achieve some tiny deed that'd make the world, in a small way, a better place. Like shooting someone.
Terry Pratchett
The trouble is you can shut your eyes but you can’t shut your mind.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
When you're all singing together, it brings things together. I know the songs that my grandfather and my father sang.
Terry Pratchett
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
Terry Pratchett
I don’t think it's weak to admit you made a mistake. That takes strength, if you ask me.
Terry Pratchett
One day a tortoise will learn how to fly.
Terry Pratchett
I thought it very strange, and very sad, that the fairy kingdom largely appears to be English. I thought it was time for some regional representation. And the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they're like tiny little Scottish Smurfs who have seen Braveheart altogether too many times.
Terry Pratchett
I'm not really good at fun-to-know, human interest stuff. We're not 'celebrities', whose life itself is a performance. Good or bad or ugly, we are our words. They're what people meet.
Terry Pratchett
The people who really run organizations are usually found several levels down, where it is still possible to get things done.
