“Believe it. That was the way. Never stop believing. Fool the eye, fool the brain.”

“Just because you're an angel doesn't mean you have to be a fool.”

“Any fool could be a witch with a runic knife, but it took skill to be one with an apple corer.”

“Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn't believing. It's where belief stops, because it isn't needed any more.”

“A man of power and responsibility nevertheless needs somebody to tell him when he is being a bloody fool.”

“Wizards don't believe in gods in the same way that most people don't find it necessary to believe in, say, tables. They know they're there, they know they're there for a purpose, they'd probably agree that they have a place in a well-organised universe, but they wouldn't see the point of believing, of going around saying "O great table, without whom we are as naught." Anyway, either the gods are there whether you believe in them or not, or exist only as a function of the belief, so either way you might as well ignore the whole business and, as it were, eat off your knees.”

“Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”
