Terry Pratchett
Bill Door was impressed. Miss Flitworth could actually give the word revenue, which had two vowels and one diphthong, all the peremptoriness of the word scum.
Terry Pratchett
What is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you're hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.
Terry Pratchett
It's not morbid to talk about death. Most people don't worry about death, they worry about a bad death.
Terry Pratchett
Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended.
Terry Pratchett
I just rearrange words into a pleasing order for money.
Terry Pratchett
I'm not cruel, sir, I won't shoot you in the guts, but I will make you realize how much you took your toes for granted.
