More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Truly, he thought, the way of enlightenment is like unto half a mile of broken glass.
Terry Pratchett
Well, it would have to be “The Man Who Was Thursday.” It’s a damn good read that I believe should be read by everyone in politics.
Terry Pratchett
Are you a devious, plotting, unreliable madman? Ah, good, then you can be my most trusted advisor.
Terry Pratchett
The enemy isn’t men, or women, it’s bloody stupid people and no-one has the right to be stupid.
Terry Pratchett
This was the definition of eternity it was the space of time devised by the Great God Om to ensure that everyone got the punishment that was due to them.
Terry Pratchett
The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.
Terry Pratchett
Progress just means bad things happen faster.
Terry Pratchett
Good or bad, do it as you. Too many lies and there's no truth to go back to.
Terry Pratchett
Just because things are obvious doesn't mean they're true.
Terry Pratchett
But the purpose of the book is not the horror, it is horror's defeat.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone is reading what they like and that's a good thing.
Terry Pratchett
At least I know I'm bewildered about the really fundamental and important facts of the universe.
Terry Pratchett
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.
Terry Pratchett
But that was just it - hate was exactly the right word. Hate is a force of attraction. Hate is just love with its back turned.
Terry Pratchett
Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.
Terry Pratchett
(About a cookbook...) - What about this one? Maids of Honor? - Weeelll, they starts OUT as Maids of Honor...but they ends up Tarts.
Terry Pratchett
I saved a man's life once, said Granny. Special medicine, twice a day. Boiled water with a bit of berry juice in it. Told him I'd bought it from the dwarves. That's the biggest part of doct'rin, really. Most people'll get over most things if they put their minds to it, you just have to give them an interest.
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
You never knew about people, like you never knew how deep a pond was because all you saw was the top.
Terry Pratchett
People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around.
