More quotes by Terry Pratchett

"The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head."
"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."
"IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT /MEANT/ TO BE SAFE."
"This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic."
"First draft: let it run. Turn all the knobs up to 11. Second draft: hell. Cut it down and cut it into shape. Third draft: comb its nose and blow its hair. I usually find that most of the book will have handed itself to me on that first draft."
