“Not doing any magic at all was the chief task of wizards—not :not doing magic" because they couldn't do magic, but not doing magic when they could do and didn't. Any ignorant fool can fail to turn someone else into a frog. You have to be clever to refrain from doing it when you knew how easy it was. There were places in the world commemorating those times when wizards hadn't been quite as clever as that, and on many of them the grass would never grow again.”
― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

“I'm the Whether Man, not the Weather Man, for after all it's more important to know whether there will be weather than what the weather will be.”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

“Little people have to hate, have to blame someone for their own inadequacies.”
― Glen Cook, Chronicles of the Black Company

“Quentin did a magic trick. Nobody noticed.”
