Terry Pratchett
When it's time to stop living, I will certainly make Death my number one choice!
Terry Pratchett
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a writer who's writing books, and therefore, I don't want to die. You'd miss the end of the book, wouldn't you? You can't die with an unfinished book.
Terry Pratchett
Coffee is a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your older self.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
You will have to look a long way before you find a bunch of scum-suckers more greedy, humourless and deserving of death than the suits in the music business.
Terry Pratchett
My character - and for that matter my worst habits - could only be described by someone else. You can't open a box with the crowbar inside it.
Terry Pratchett
Everyone knew there were wolves in the mountains, but they seldom came near the village-the modern wolves were the offspring of ancestors that had survived because they had learned that human meat had sharp edges.
