He'd heard that writers spent all day in their dressing gowns drinking champagne. This is, of course, absolutely true.
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
You can't second-guess ineffability, I always say.
Terry Pratchett
It's always surprising to be reminded that while you're watching and thinking about people, all knowing and superior, they're watching and thinking about you, right back at you.
Terry Pratchett
I'd like to walk on the moon (and return).
Terry Pratchett

I have no fear of death whatsoever. I suspect that few people do, what they all fear is what might happen in the years or months before death.
Terry Pratchett
And Sam Vimes thought: Why is Young Sam's nursery full of farmyard animals anyway? Why are his books full of moo-cows and baa-lambs? He is growing up in the city. He will only see them on a plate! They go sizzle!
Terry Pratchett
And then you bit onto them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.
Terry Pratchett
Luck is my middle name. Mind you, my first name is Bad.
Terry Pratchett
I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel.
Terry Pratchett
The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it.
Terry Pratchett
'Discworld' is taking something that you know is ridiculous and treating it as if it is serious, to see if something interesting happens when you do so.
Terry Pratchett
Did I do anything last night that suggested I was sane?
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
I reckon that Stonehege was build by the contemporary equivalent of Microsoft, whereas Avebury was definitely an Apple circle.
Terry Pratchett
You know how to pray, don’t you? Just put your hands together and hope.
Terry Pratchett
I'm a fantasy writer, called a fantasy writer. But there's very little, apart from one or two basic concepts in 'I Shall Wear Midnight,' which are in fact fantasy. You have sticks that fly, but they're practical broomsticks, with a bloody great strap that you can hold on to so you don't fall off. And you try not to use them too often.
Terry Pratchett
