Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett was a renowned British author best known for his satirical fantasy series, Discworld.

"Wizards don’t believe in gods. They didn’t deny their existence, of course. They just didn’t believe. It was nothing personal; they weren’t actually rude about it. Gods were a visible part of narrativium that made things work, that gave the world its purpose. It was just that they were best avoided close up."

Terry Pratchett

"The gods,' he said. 'Imprisoned in a thought. And perhaps they were never more than a dream."

Terry Pratchett

"There were a lot of things he could say. 'Son of a bitch!' would have been a good one. Or he could say, 'Welcome to civilization!' He could have said, 'Laugh this one off!' He might have said, 'Fetch!' But he didn’t, because if he had said any of those things then he’d have known that what he had just done was murder."

Terry Pratchett

"It was the kind of storm that suggests the whole sky has swallowed a diuretic."

Terry Pratchett

"Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it."

Terry Pratchett

"The important thing about having lots of things to remember is that you’ve got to go somewhere afterwards where you can remember them, you see? You’ve got to stop. You haven’t really been anywhere until you’ve got back home."

Terry Pratchett

"WHAT FOR IS THIS BOX PADDED? IS IT TO BE SAT ON? CAN IT BE THAT IT IS CAT-FLAVOURED?"

Terry Pratchett

"Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide."

Terry Pratchett

"If there were such a thing as an inter-city thieving contest, Ankh-Morpork would bring home the trophy and probably everyone’s wallets."

Terry Pratchett

"The beagle and the kobold approached, walking out of the dusty distance."
