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
Find the story, Granny Weatherwax always said. She believed that the world was full of story shapes. If you let them, they controlled you. But if you studied them, if you found out about them... you could use them, you could change them.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
It's tough at the top. It's tough at the bottom. But in between you could use them for horse-shoes.
Terry Pratchett
There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - I'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
Terry Pratchett
Were you proposing to shoot these people in cold blood, sergeant? Nossir. Just a warning shot inna head, sir.
Terry Pratchett
While a book has got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the reader it's got to be worthwhile from the point of view of the writer as well.
Terry Pratchett
I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel.
Terry Pratchett
Unseen University had never admitted women, muttering something about problems with the plumbing, but the real reason was an unspoken dread that if women were allowed to mess around with magic they would probably be embarrassingly good at it.
Terry Pratchett
Blessings be on this house, Granny said, perfunctorily. It was always a good opening remark for a witch. It concentrated people's minds on what other things might be on this house.
Terry Pratchett
