“Granny Weatherwax looked out at the multi-layered, silvery world.
“Where am I?�
INSIDE THE MIRROR.
“Am I dead?�
THE ANSWER TO THAT, said Death, IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NO AND YES.

“When can I get out?�
WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT’S REAL.
“Is this a trick question?�
NO.
Granny looked down at herself.
“This one,â€� she said.”
― Witches Abroad

“Your God person puts an apple tree in the middle of a garden and says, do what you like, guys, oh, but don't eat the apple. Surprise surprise, they eat it and he leaps out from behind a bush shouting "Gotcha". It wouldn't have made any difference if they hadn't eaten it.'

'Because if you're dealing with somebody who has the sort of mentality which likes leaving hats on the pavement with bricks under them you know perfectly well they won't give up. They'll get you in the end.”
― The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“Glorious,' said Steerpike, 'is a dictionary word. We are all imprisoned by the dictionary. We choose out of that vast, paper-walled prison our convicts, the little black printed words, when in truth we need fresh sounds to utter, new enfranchised noises which would produce a new effect.”

“Learning how to think" really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.
It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.
Because if you cannot or will not exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.”
― This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life
