    Terry Pratchett
    “Your average witch is not, by nature, a social animal as far as other witches are concerned. There's a conflict of dominant personalities. There's a group of ringleaders without a ring. There's the basic unwritten rule of witchcraft, which is 'Don't do what you will, do what I say.' The natural size of a coven is one. Witches only get together when they can't avoid it.”
    ― Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

    P.L. Travers
    “Who are you?" she inquired, as the cat passed by.
    I'm the cat that looked at a king," he replied.
    And I," she remarked with a toss of her head, "am the cow that jumped over the moon."
    Is that so?" said the cat. "Whatever for?"
    The cow stared. She had never been asked that question before. And suddenly it occured to her that there might something else to do than jumping over moons.”
