More quotes by Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
A bad hunter chases. A good hunter waits.
Terry Pratchett

At such times the universe gets a little closer to us. They are strange times, times of beginnings and endings. Dangerous and powerful. And we feel it even if we don't know what it is. These times are not necessarily good, and not necessarily bad. In fact, what they are depends on what *we* are.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Raise the stakes! Always push your luck because no one else would push it for you.
Terry Pratchett
You call yourself some kind of goddess and you know nothing, madam, nothing. What don't die can't live. What don't live can't change. What don't change can't learn. The smallest creature that dies in the grass knows more than you.
Terry Pratchett
Humanity's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.
Terry Pratchett
You can't die with an unfinished book.
Terry Pratchett
Vampires have risen from the dead, the grave, and the crypt, but have never managed it from the cat.
Terry Pratchett
First of all you are a writer, a writer is what you are, so it doesn't actually stop the moment you leave your desk, your computer, your keyboard, whatever. Something is operating the back of your mind.
Terry Pratchett
I've got wide tastes, but I don't like jazz.
Terry Pratchett
If it wasn't for the fun and money, I really don't know why I'd bother.
Terry Pratchett
