“Godshawk looked surprised, the way that people generally do when you ask them philosophical questions in shrubberies in the middle of the night.”

“Questions are great, but only if you know the answers. If you ask questions and the answers surprise you, you look silly.”

“First you must find... another shrubbery! Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path! A path!") Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest... with... a herring!”

“If you take a man by surprise, and behave with sufficient arrogance, he will generally do what you ask.-Emerson”

“One of the problems with being a witch is when you ask the universe a question, it generally give you an answer.”

“This is a question too difficult for a mathematician. It should be asked of a philosopher"(when asked about completing his income tax form)”
