📚 Quote Page 245 - after Esk threw her staff in the river
"Cutangle shook his head. 'The river´s flooding,' he said. It's a million-to-one chance.' Granny smiled grimly. It was the sort of smile that wolves ran away from. (...) 'Million-to-one-chances,' she said, 'crop up nine times out of ten.'"

💬 Granny kicking some wizard ass in the "girls have cooties" dining hall heckie yeah

📚 Quote Page 222
"magic(...) it's a beacon to them. It's not darkness that calls Them, it's light, light that creates the shadows! (...) They've got no life or shape themselves but what they can steal. (...) And they're just bright enough to hate us because we're alive."

💬 Esk busy being cringe in front of wizards (ahh the hubris of youth!) but Granny delivers as per usual

📚 191 - (the uni devel. a personality after absorb. magic)
"The trouble with borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages."

💬 Granny Weatherwax mention - you know the drill!

📚 Quote Page 188
"Granny had nothing against fortune-telling provided it was done badly by people with no talent for it. It was a different matter if people who ought to know better did it, though."

💬 'Granny Weatherwax, my belovedddd' I shriek gleefully at even just the mere mention of her hahaha 💖

📚 Quote Page 169
'Excuse me, my good woman, but would you be so kind as to move, please?'
Granny stepped aside, affronted by this display of downright politeness and particularly upset at being thought of as anyone's good woman, (...)

💬 The broomstick ride "Granny would always remember" made me all soft hehe

📚 Quote Page 161
"Actually, there are some kinds of observers who, faced with all this beauty, will whine that you can't have heavy light and certainly wouldn't be able to see it, even if you could. To which one can only reply, so how come you're standing on a cloud?"

📚 Quote Page 150 (about Treatle)
"He was stupid, yes, in the particular way that very clever people can be stupid, and maybe he had all the tact of an avalanche (...), but it would never have occurred to him that children were important enough to be unkind to."

🍔 lunch break read

💬 The Zoon's and "the office of tribal Liar" had me cracking up so much! Right after Granny Weatherwax's grumpy disposition this was my favorite thing to read about so far :D♥️
(I also like the, for lack of a better word, magic system? but the explanations, albeit entertaining enough, do tucker me out sometimes!)

💬 asked in an Insta poll which of my books to finish and Equal Rites won hehe les gooo

📚 Quote Page 110
"Granny, meanwhile, was two streets away. She was also, by the standards of other people, lost. She would not see it like that. She knew where she was, it was just that everywhere else didn't."

📚 Quote Page 102

"Hilta laughed. Esk quite liked the sound. Granny never laughed, she merely let the corners of her mouth turn up, but Hilta laughed like someone who had thought hard about Life and had seen the joke."
