Of course, like all the informal inhabitants of the University the roaches were a little unusual, but there was something particularly unpleasant about the sound of billions of very small feet hitting the stones in perfect time. Rincewind stepped gingerly over the marching column. The Librarian jumped it. The Luggage, of course, followed them with a noise like someone tapdancing over a bag of crisps (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
... all reputable falconers agreed that for hunting purposes the only way you could reliably bring down prey with a wowhawk was by using it in a slingshot (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
And all the stories had, somewhere, the witch. The wicked old witch. And Tiffany had thought: Where’s the evidence? (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
At such times the universe gets a little closer to us. They are strange times, times of beginnings and endings. Dangerous and powerful. And we feel it even if we don’t know what it is. These times are not necessarily good, and not necessarily bad. In fact, what they are depends on what *we* are (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Students, eh? Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you can’t hit them with a shovel! (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
That was always the dream, wasn’t it? ‘I wish I’d known then what I know now’? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn’t YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Either dragons should exist completely or fail to exist at all, he felt. A dragon only half-existing was worse than the extremes (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Oh, my dear Vimes, history changes all the time. It is constantly being re-examined and re-evaluated, otherwise how would we be able to keep historians occupied? We can’t possibly allow people with their sort of minds to walk around with time on their hands (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
Theres no stink more sorrorful than the stink of wet, burnt paper. It means: the end (Terry Pratchett Quotes)

He was certain he was anorectic, because every time he looked in a mirror he saw a fat man. It was the Archchancellor, standing behind him and shouting at him (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
But the helmet had gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that wore stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association (Terry Pratchett Quotes)
