Every step is a first step if it's a step in the right direction.
Terry Pratchett
It was the living who ignored the strange and wonderful, because life was too full of the boring and mundane.
Terry Pratchett
It must be hard for humans, forever floundering through inconvenient geography. Humans are always lost. It's a basic characteristic. It explains a lot about them.
Terry Pratchett
Cats gravitate to kitchens like rocks gravitate to gravity.
Terry Pratchett
Because some stories end, but old stories go on, and you gotta dance to the music if you want to stay ahead
Terry Pratchett
For an author, the nice characters aren't much fun. What you want are the screwed up characters. You know, the characters that are constantly wondering if what they are doing is the right thing, characters that are not only screwed up but are self-tapping screws. They're doing it for themselves.
Terry Pratchett
And we don't often get any wading birds in the River Ankh, mainly because the pollution would eat their legs away and anyway, it's easier for them to walk on the surface.
Terry Pratchett
Some shadows are so long, they arrive before the light.
Terry Pratchett
I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel.
Terry Pratchett
Good or bad, do it as you. Too many lies and there's no truth to go back to.
Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
I may be daft but I'm no' stupid!
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
Pride is all very well, but a sausage is a sausage.
Terry Pratchett
Oh, there's plenty of reasons. I just don't know which one.
Terry Pratchett
Words are the litmus paper of the mind.
Terry Pratchett
Raising the flag and singing the anthem are, while somewhat suspicious, not in themselves acts of treason.
Terry Pratchett
The best research you can do is to talk to people.
Terry Pratchett
Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.
Terry Pratchett
It was one of those problematic occasions with long silences, sporadic coughs, and people saying isolated things like, Well, isn't this nice.
Terry Pratchett
