More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Its useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
Someone out there was about to find that their worst nightmare was a maddened Librarian. With a badge.

It was then that Marvin got religion. Not the quiet, personal kind, that involves doing good deeds and living a better life not even the kind that involves putting on a suit and ringing people's doorbells but the kind that involves having your own TV network and getting people to send you money.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, well...up until now it had been a good day, in a horrible kind of way.
Terry Pratchett
Colon has always thought that heroes had some special kind of clockwork that made them go out and die famously for god, country and apple pie, or whatever particular delicacy their mother made. It had never occurred to him that they might do it because they'd get yelled at if they didn't.
Terry Pratchett
It's a guilty secret of a lot of writers, as you get older you don't read as much fiction as you used to, mainly because it's like you are deconstructing it all the time.
Terry Pratchett
I’m a witch. It’s what we do. When it’s nobody else’s business, it’s my business.
Terry Pratchett
I keep vaguely wondering what Macs are like, but the ones I've seen spend too much time being friendly.
Terry Pratchett
Sometimes words need music too. Sometimes the descriptions are not enough. Books should be written with soundtracks, like films.
Terry Pratchett
No real sunrise could paint the sky Surgical Appliance Pink.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
A Duke couldn't have the arse hanging out of his trousers when meeting foreign diplomats. Actually even plain old Sam Vimes never had the arse hanging out of his trousers, either, but no one would have actually started a war if he had.
