Terry Pratchett
The significant owl hoots in the night.
Terry Pratchett
The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.
Terry Pratchett
A police procedural novel can be even funnier if the police include Trolls and Dwarves and things like that. You start looking at the whole basis of the cop novel. You get the cop moving in a different way when you've actually set it in a fantasy city.
Terry Pratchett
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods they have not forgotten this.
Terry Pratchett
That's what I don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!
