Terry Pratchett
Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.
Terry Pratchett
Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it. No, actually it isn't, said Tiffany. Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short.
Terry Pratchett
You get all sorts of people in the library, and the librarian gets it all.
Terry Pratchett
All tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.
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

Terry Pratchett
Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.
Terry Pratchett
I must have read every issue of 'Punch' published in the 20th century, and I think in the process I picked up the true voice of English humour - that amiable, fairly liberal, laconic voice which you find in something like 'Three Men in a Boat.'
Terry Pratchett
This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
