Terry Pratchett
What did I tell you about Mister Safety Catch?' said Vimes weakly. When Mister Safety Catch Is Not On, Mister Crossbow Is Not Your Friend,' recited Detritus, saluting.

Terry Pratchett
Do you think it's possible for an entire nation to be insane?
Terry Pratchett
I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course.
Terry Pratchett
I don't really plan. I'm almost intuitive about things.
Terry Pratchett
An author writes a book, and that's the book at that point. And if the author writes the book again, then somehow something has gone wrong, if you see what I mean.
Terry Pratchett
Just because something is a metaphor doesn't mean it can't be real.
Terry Pratchett
The fastest way to travel is to be there already.
Terry Pratchett
But the purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's defeat.
Terry Pratchett
Things just happen. What the hell.
Terry Pratchett
If Not You, Who Else?
