More quotes by Terry Pratchett
The trouble with thinking was that, once you started, you went on doing it.
Terry Pratchett
The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.
Terry Pratchett
The point is that if a book that had been published three years ago started to sell twice as many all of a sudden it probably wouldn't even get noticed. People wouldn't be tracking it. The system has cleaned up its act an awful lot but the best-seller list system is not an entirely foolproof thing.
Terry Pratchett
You just put that sword away, sir, please, said the voice of Lance-Constable Vimes. You will not shoot me, you young idiot. That would be murder, said the captain calmly. Not where I'm aiming, sir.

Terry Pratchett
After you've been working fairly intensively on a novel for six months you never want to see the damn thing again.
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
The elevator shaft was a kind of heat sink. Hot food was cold by the time it arrived. Cold food got colder. No one knew what would happen to ice cream, but it would probably involve some rewriting of the laws of thermodynamics.
Terry Pratchett
At least I know I'm bewildered about the really fundamental and important facts of the universe.
Terry Pratchett
You can't kill me, I've got a magic... AAAARGH !
Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax was firmly against fiction. Life was hard enough without lies floating around and changing the way people thought.
Terry Pratchett
You know, you're rather amusingly wrong.
Terry Pratchett
Are you a devious, plotting, unreliable madman? Ah, good, then you can be my most trusted advisor.
Terry Pratchett
You have reached the end of cake
Terry Pratchett
Real children do not go hoppity skip unless they are on drugs.
Terry Pratchett
This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
Terry Pratchett
The sun rose slowly, as if it wasn't sure it was worth all the effort.
