More quotes by Terry Pratchett
Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.
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.

Terry Pratchett
Rincewind gave his fingers a long shocked stare, as one might regard a gun that has been hanging on the wall for decades and has suddenly gone off and perforated the cat.
Terry Pratchett
I do not in fact use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people's memories for a while.
Terry Pratchett
Books must be treated with respect, we feel that in our bones, because words have power. Bring enough words together they can bend space and time.
Terry Pratchett
The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.
Terry Pratchett
Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,' the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
Terry Pratchett
Its useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.
Terry Pratchett
Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example.
Terry Pratchett
Consider the situation. There you are, forehead like a set of balconies, worrying about the long-term effects of all this new 'fire' stuff on the environment, you're being chased and eaten by most of the planet's large animals, and suddenly tiny versions of one of the worst of them wanders into the cave and starts to purr.
Terry Pratchett
If you want to change a whole people, then you start with the girls. It stands to reason: they learn faster, and they pass on what they learn to their children.
Terry Pratchett
I would advise budding writers some other kind of job, unless they think they're very, very lucky.
Terry Pratchett
In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
Terry Pratchett
Of course, just because we've heard a spine-chilling, blood-curdling scream of the sort to make your very marrow freeze in your bones doesn't automatically mean there's anything wrong.
Terry Pratchett
He moved in a way that suggested he was attempting the world speed record for the nonchalant walk.
Terry Pratchett
The thing with crowns is, it isn't the putting them on that's the problem, it's the taking them off.
Terry Pratchett
God does not play games with His loyal servants, said the Metatron, but in a worried tone of voice. Whooo-eee, said Crowley. Where have you been?
Terry Pratchett
It's either because of the number of times the scholar puts the boot into Peter Jackson the director of The Lord of the Rings films or is making a point they have never heard of.
Terry Pratchett
Seeing things a human shouldn't have to see makes us human.
