Text Quotes
Sometimes you got sunsets so pink that they had no style at all (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
In the beginning there was nothing, and it exploded (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
But in his experience it was only a matter of time before the normal balance of the universe restored itself and started doing the usual terrible things to him (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
I didn’t go to university. Didn’t even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Personally, I think the best motto for an educational establishment is: ‘Or Would You Rather Be a Mule? (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting ‘All the Gods are bastards (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
I know loads of coppers and dealt with them a lot when I was a journalist - coppers are easy to write for; they tend to run on rails (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
The author can always delve into his own personality and find aspects of himself with which he can dress his characters (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Once you have your character sitting right there in your head, all you really need to do is wind them up, put them down, and simply write down what they do, say, or think (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Sometimes I feel that the world is made up of sensible people who know the plot and bloody idiots who don’t (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
The universe clearly operates for the benefit of humanity. This can be readily seen from the convenient way the sun comes up in the morning, when people are ready to start the day (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
It takes forty men with their feet on the ground to keep one man with his head in the air (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
It was written in some holy book, apparently, so that made it okay, and probably compulsory (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Perhaps it would be simpler if you just did what you’re told and didn’t try to understand things (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
If cats looked like frogs we’d realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That’s what people remember (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards because a refusal often offends, I read somewhere (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
She was a beefy young woman and, whatever piece of music she was playing, it was definitely losing (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
It was quite impossible to describe. Here is what it looked like. It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt Paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street-cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer’s you are an old fart. That’s how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
You can’t build a plot out of jokes. You need tragic relief. And you need to let people know that when a lot of frightened people are running around with edged weaponry, there are deaths. Stupid deaths, usually. I’m not writing ‘The A-Team’ - if there’s a fight going on, people will get hurt. Not letting this happen would be a betrayal (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably ‘Doctor Who.’ What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
My advice is this. For Christ’s sake, don’t write a book that is suitable for a kid of 12 years old, because the kids who read who are 12 years old are reading books for adults. I read all of the James Bond books when I was about 11, which was approximately the right time to read James Bond books (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
I intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod. Oh, and since this is England, I had better add, ‘If wet, in the library.’ Who could say that this is bad? (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Mum had done everything you need to educate a kid. She made me a kid who likes books and she told me about ‘Wind in the Willows’ and read it and I thought this is weird, Rat, Mole, Toad and my first ever Bolshie thought - you know about ‘The Wind in the Willows.’ (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
I particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I’d lay my cards down on that, and say that it’s that that I’m trying to do (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight. It’s a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’ (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
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 Quotes)
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational - and I’m speaking the written science fiction, not ‘Star Trek.’ Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they’re clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
