It wasn't that Ridcully was stupid. Truly stupid wizards have the life expectancy of a glass hammer. He had quite a powerful intellect, but it was powerful like a locomotive, and ran on rails and was therefore almost impossible to steer.

i think about granny weatherwax sooo often like she's always nagging in the back of my brain. especially now that im aging out of like. ok im not old im 26 but im older than im used to and i think about her talking to ridcully in lords and ladies like yeah, you could've made a different choice at 18 and you could've had a completely different life and you have no assurances that it would've been a good one, but it would've been good cause you can build things. you would've made it good. and now your life is what it is but it's still good cause you built it. and yes that was about choosing a loving marriage over an equally loving sense of self sufficiency but actually it was about every single 18 yr old in the world. and ME 😚

Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland? In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course. History always has a great weight of inertia.

Magrat being a Tumblr Fangirl for loving a pathetic (affectionate) Fool (job title, former) who sleeps on the floor, even when he's the King (job title, current)

I want to reread Lords and Ladies, but it's just gone spring in the Northern Hemisphere and that book really must be read in the summer.

I think if all those Edgar Allan Poe characters who got buried alive had just hung a sign around their neck that said “I ATEN’T DEAD” all their problems would have been solved smh

It was a cottage of questioning witches, research witches. Eye of what newt? What species of ravined salt-sea shark? It's all very well a potion calling for Love-in-idleness, but which of the thirty-seven common plants called by that name in various parts of the continent was actually meant?
The reason that Granny Weatherwax was a better witch than Magrat was that she knew that in witchcraft it didn't matter a damn which one it was, or even if it was a piece of grass.
The reason Magrat was a better doctor than Granny was that she thought it did.

“I don't hold with paddlin' with the occult," said Granny firmly. "Once you start paddlin' with the occult you start believing in spirits, and when you start believing in spirits you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are you're believing in gods. And then you're in trouble." "But all them things exist," said Nanny Ogg. "That's no call to go around _believing_ in them. It only encourages 'em.”

Food as an aphrodisiac was not a concept that had ever caught on in Lancre, apart from Nanny Ogg’s famous Carrot and Oyster Pie. Carrots so you can see in the dark, she’d explain, and oysters so’s you’ve got something to look at.
