Terry Pratchett Quotes

People complain that life is short,for me it seems very long.

Time can also be a place.... Everything depends on where you are standing, on where you look or what you hear. The measure of it is found in consciousness itself.

Time. It hangs heavy for the bored, eludes the busy, flies by the for young, and runs out for the aged.

As you get older, you have more time on your hands. Some people do croswords and others jigsaws, but I garden.

Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

As you grow older, you learn a few things. One of them is to actually take the time you've allotted for vacation.

People always talk about how time flies; it's become sort of a colloquialism now. You don't really understand it until you reach your late 30s and early 40s - and I'm sure time will move even faster as I get older.

I like to say time is a luxury.

Time is an illusion anyway. You can create as much time as you want.

Entire years had passed when he was rich enough in time to disregard the loose change of a minute, but now he obsessed over each one, this minute, the next minute, the one following, all of which were different terms for the same illusion.

Time does not always pass at the same speed. We are the ones who determine that speed.

I often think of that when I hear people say that they haven't time to read.

Time is indeed the theater and seat of illusions; nothing is so ductile and elastic. The mind stretches an hour to a century, and dwarfs an age to an hour.

I think time is elastic. There are moments in my life that are many, many years ago and yet I can conjure them as though it's a second ago. And there are other things that happened maybe last week that seem like ages ago.

The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.

Time is made up of various ages; and each thinks its own a novelty.

it doesn't take long to stay an hour.

Time is a fluid condition which has no existence except in the momentary avatars of individual people. There is no such thing as was - only is.

Some days felt longer than other days. Some days felt like two whole days. Unfortunately those days were never weekend days. Our Saturdays and Sundays passed in half the time of a normal workday. In other words, some weeks it felt like we worked ten straight days and had only one day off.

Maybe I should sit. Plenty of people use sitting as a way to pass the time.

Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.

It's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in.

At twenty life was like wrestling an octopus. Every moment mattered. At thirty it was a walk in the country. Most of the time your mind was somewhere else. By the time you got to seventy, it was probably like watching snooker on the telly.

Time flows in a strange way on Sundays.
