Terry Pratchett
I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called 'The Truth'.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way. It's good for the hygiene of the brain.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
The best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I've got Alzheimer's.
Terry Pratchett
Vampires have risen from the dead, the grave, and the crypt, but have never managed it from the cat.
Terry Pratchett
Correct observation followed by meticulous deduction and the precise visualization of goals is vital to the success of any enterprise.
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
THERE'S NO JUSTICE, said Mort. JUST US.
Terry Pratchett
