No one knew where you were before you were born, but when you were born, it wasn't long before you found you'd arrived with your return ticket already punched.
Terry Pratchett
In the words of the philosopher Sceptum, the founder of my profession: am I going to get paid for this?
Terry Pratchett
I have a suspicion - I have to be careful what I say - that you might actually find the best comics actually written by people who are comics writers and who aren't setting out to do graphic novels.

Terry Pratchett
One minute I'm just another rabbit and happy about it, next minute *whazaam*, I'm thinking. That's a major drawback if you're looking for happiness as a rabbit, let me tell you. You want grass and sex, not thoughts like 'What's it all about, when you get right down to it?'
Terry Pratchett
Humans can think inhuman thoughts.
Terry Pratchett
Everywhere I look, I see something holy.
Terry Pratchett
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
Terry Pratchett
Don't look back! Why not? Because I just did! Run faster!
Terry Pratchett
They may have been ugly. They may have been evil. But when it came to poetry in motion, the Things had all the grace and coordination of a deck-chair.
Terry Pratchett
I'm interested in mythology generally, but India has no special place in my heart - although Hindu gods seem a lot more fun.
Terry Pratchett
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
Terry Pratchett
I read the best works of some of the best satirists, and indeed best writers from the beginning of the Victorian era to about the 1960s. If you want to be a blacksmith, you go and watch the blacksmith working, and you work out what the blacksmith does.
Terry Pratchett
How do you get all those coins? asked Mort. IN PAIRS.
Terry Pratchett
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.
Terry Pratchett
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Terry Pratchett
Coffee is a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your older self.
