Terry Pratchett
Priests were metal-reinforced overshoes. They saved your soles. This is an Assassin joke.
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

Terry Pratchett
You can't kill me, I've got a magic... AAAARGH !
Terry Pratchett
Balance. It was all about balance. That had been one of the first things that she had learned: the centre of the seesaw has neither up nor down, but upness and downness flow through it while it remains unmoved.

Terry Pratchett
We sleepwalk through our lives, because how could we live if we were always this awake?
Terry Pratchett
This wasn't food - it was what food became if it had been good and gone to food heaven.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
It's not Brits who think American readers are a bunch of whinging morons with the geo-social understanding of a wire coathanger, it's American editors.
Terry Pratchett
Why not? If enough people believe, you can be god of anything.
Terry Pratchett
In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
Terry Pratchett
I just rearrange words into a pleasing order for money.
Terry Pratchett
People whose concept of ancient history is the first series of Star Trek may be treated with patience, because it's usually not their fault they were reduced to getting their education from school.
Terry Pratchett
Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.
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
Creatures which, lacking mankind's superior brain power, did not concern themselves with finding someone to blame, and instead tried to find someone to eat.
Terry Pratchett
The enemy isn’t men, or women, it’s bloody stupid people and no-one has the right to be stupid.
