More quotes by Terry Pratchett
I'd like to stand up for the rights of people who put everything on their burger - chutney, mustard, pickle, mustard pickle, tomato sauce...

There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.
Terry Pratchett
We're philosophers. We think, therefore we am.
Terry Pratchett
If I had been Terry Pratchett the farmer, or Terry Pratchett the dentist, nobody would have paid any attention if I had announced I had Alzheimer's. But there is something fascinating about an author losing the power over words.
Terry Pratchett
I would like you to teach [the orcs] civilised behaviour, said Ladyship coldly. He appeared to consider this. Yes of course, I think that would be quite possible, he said. And who would you send to teach the humans?

Building a temple didn't mean you believed in gods, it just meant you believed in architecture.
Terry Pratchett
Vimes struggled to his feet, shook his head and set off after it. No thought was involved. It is the ancient instinct of terriers and policemen to chase anything that runs away.
Terry Pratchett
Generally I start writing when I have even the smallest idea of how a book is going to go, because the physical process of writing itself keeps the mind active and focused on the job at hand. Usually I write in about 5 drafts, but that simply means there are 5 definite times when I go in a linear fashion from the beginning to the end of the book.
Terry Pratchett
I'm sorry, I just got carried away, hissed Aziraphale.
Terry Pratchett
Well, it would have to be “The Man Who Was Thursday.” It’s a damn good read that I believe should be read by everyone in politics.
Terry Pratchett
You never knew about people, like you never knew how deep a pond was because all you saw was the top.
Terry Pratchett
Maybe the only significant difference between a really smart simulation and a human being was the noise they made when you punched them.
Terry Pratchett
You had to hand it to the Patrician, he admitted grudgingly. If you didn't, he sent men to come and take it away.
Terry Pratchett
People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.
Terry Pratchett
Experience has taught me that you feel better on a flight if you avoid chicken fat in plastic sauce.
