See a pin and pick it up, and, all day long, you'll have a pin.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

The key to winning, as always,...

The key to winning, as always, was looking as if you had every right, nay, duty to be where you were. It helped if you could also suggest in every line of your body that no one else had any rights to be doing anything, anywhere, whatsoever.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

You can't say 'if this didn't ...

You can't say 'if this didn't happen then that would have happened' because you don't know everything that might have happened. You might think something'd be good, but for all you know it could have turned out horrible. You can't say 'If only I'd ' because you could be wishing for anything. The point is, you'll never know. You've gone past. So there's no use thinking about it.

It occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases - one was Alzheimers, and the other was knowing I had Alzheimers.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

Whatever happens, they say aft...

Whatever happens, they say afterwards, it must have been fate. People are always a little confused about this, as they are in the case of miracles. When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of events -- the oil spilled just there, the safety fence broken just there -- that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.

The best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I've got Alzheimer's.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm a writer who's writing books, and therefore, I don't want to die. You'd miss the end of the book, wouldn't you? You can't die with an unfinished book.

By the time you've reached you...

By the time you've reached your sixties, you do know that one day you will die, and knowing that is at least the beginning of wisdom.

Its useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.

I wish that the people who sing about the deeds of heroes would think about the people who have to clear up after them.

Anyway, just because you're sworn enemies doesn't mean you can't be friends, does it?

I must confess the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occurred to him.

If you want to change a whole people, then you start with the girls. It stands to reason: they learn faster, and they pass on what they learn to their children.

One day all of us will die but - and this is the important thing - we are not dead yet.

Questions don't have to make sense, Vincent,' said Miss Susan. 'But answers do.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

People look down on stuff like...

People look down on stuff like geography and meteorology, and not only because they're standing on one and being soaked by the other. They don't look quite like real science. But geography is only physics slowed down and with a few trees stuck on it, and meteorology is full of excitingly fashionable chaos and complexity. And summer isn't a time. It's a place as well. Summer is a moving creature and likes to go south for the winter.
