Text Quotes
Granny Weatherwax was not a good loser. From her point of view, losing was something that happened to other people  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna’ be fooled again!  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) But ye gotta know where ye’re just gonna rush in. Ye cannae just rush in anywhere. It looks bad, havin’ to rush oout again straight awa’  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Of course, Ankh-Morpork’s citizens had always claimed that the river water was incredibly pure. Any water that had passed through so many kidneys, they reasoned, had to be very pure indeed  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time. Every once in a while one of them hits a receptive mind, which then invents DNA or the flute sonata form or a way of making light bulbs wear out in half the time. But most of them miss. Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because - what with trolls and dwarfs and so on - speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) 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 Quotes) A Duke couldn’t have the arse hanging out of his trousers when meeting foreign diplomats. Actually even plain old Sam Vimes never had the arse hanging out of his trousers, either, but no one would have actually started a war if he had  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) There are thousands of good reasons why magic doesn’t rule the world. They’re called Witches and Wizards  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) 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 Quotes) It’s the end game that people dread and that’s what I’m scared of  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) I thought it very strange, and very sad, that the fairy kingdom largely appears to be English. I thought it was time for some regional representation. And the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they’re like tiny little Scottish Smurfs who have seen Braveheart altogether too many times  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Welcome to fear, said Moist to himself. It’s hope, turned inside out. You know it can’t go wrong, you’re sure it can’t go wrong... But it might  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) People were stupid, sometimes. They thought the Library was a dangerous place because of all the magical books, which was true enough, but what made it really one of the most dangerous places there could ever be was the simple fact that it was a library  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. You’ve already read too much. Read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you’re going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Aliens don’t get stuck in air ducts. It’s practically a well-known fact  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) The Chain Letter to the Ephebians. Forget Your Gods. Be Subjugated. Learn to Fear. Do not break the chain -- the last people who did woke up one morning to find fifty thousand armed men on their lawn  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) 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 Quotes) Sometimes you can think that ‘I’ve had enough of wizards!’ And sometimes fantasy is not just about wizards  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) However, you do need rules. Driving on the left (or the right or, in parts of Europe, on the left and the right as the mood takes you) is a rule which works, since following it means you’re more likely to reach your intended rather than your final destination  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Classically, very few people have considered that cleanliness is next to godliness. A rank loincloth and hair in an advanced state of matted entanglement have generally been the badges of office of prophets whose injunction to disdain earthly things starts with soap  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of thecat, although in this case there were three determinate states the catcould be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) There are some things that are more appropriate to a children’s than an adult book but there’s a huge overlapping area and most kids read an age group up anyway.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) 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 Quotes) Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) The more you think about it, the more amazing the everyday world of human beings becomes: most of it doesn’t actually exist at all.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Fantasy doesn’t have to be fantastic. American writers in particular find this much harder to grasp. You need to have your feet on the ground as much as your head in the clouds. The cute dragon that sits on your shoulder also craps all down your back, but this makes it more interesting because it gives it an added dimension.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) One day all of us will die but - and this is the important thing - we are not dead yet  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) People whose concept of ancient history is the first series of Star Trek may be treated with patience, because it’s usually not their fault they were reduced to getting their education from school.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes) Heaven has no taste.Now-And not one single sushi restaurant.A look of pain crossed the angel’s suddenly very serious face.  (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
