Stand before your god, bow before your king, kneel before your man.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

She was also, by the standards...

She was also, by the standards of other people, lost. She would not see it like that. She knew where she was, it was just that everywhere else didn't.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

Time was something that largel...

Time was something that largely happened to other people; he viewed it in the same way that people on the shore viewed the sea. It was big and it was out there, and sometimes it was an invigorating thing to dip a toe into, but you couldn't live in it all the time. Besides, it always made his skin wrinkle.

Magrat had used a lot of powder to make her face pale and interesting. It combined with the lavishly applied mascara to give the guard the impression that he was looking at two flies that had crashed into a sugar bowl.

Oh, where are my manners? Do sit down. Pull up a small child.

Do you think it's possible for an entire nation to be insane?

Anyway, why would you trust anything written down? She certainly didn't trust 'Mothers of Borogravia!' and that was from the government. And if you couldn't trust the government, who could you trust? Very nearly everyone, come to think of it...

It's not lying when you do it to officers!

Getting an education was a bit...

Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.

But here's some advice, boy. Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.

In her own special category, she was quite beautiful. This was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

There are plenty of people who...

There are plenty of people who believe that Elvis is alive, or that aliens occasionally land here to do highly personal things to people, or that the whole idea of evolution is a conspiracy of godless scientists. Almost all of these people can vote and some of them have got guns.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.

I think it's IMPOSSIBLE for anyone famous to come from here, because everyone around here is insane.

Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.

Terry Pratchett 1410 quotes

The stories never said why she...

The stories never said why she was wicked. It was enough to be an old woman, enough to be all alone, enough to look strange because you have no teeth. It was enough to be called a witch. If it came to that, the book never gave you the evidence of anything. It talked about 'a handsome prince'... was he really, or was it just because he was a prince that people called handsome? As for 'a girl who was as beautiful as the day was long'... well, which day? In midwinter it hardly ever got light! The stories don't want you to

He thought about how it might be to be, say, a fox confronted with an angry sheep. A sheep moreover, that could afford to employ wolves.
