Wyrd Sisters Quotes

“The Fool held his breath. On long nights on the hard flagstones he had dreamed of women like her. Although, if he really thought about it, not much like her; they were better endowed around the chest, their noses weren’t so red and pointed, and their hair tended to flow more. But the Fool’s libido was bright enough to tell the difference between the impossible and the conceivably attainable, and hurriedly cut in some filter circuits.”

“Someone has to do it. It's all very well calling for eye of newt, but do you mean Common, Spotted or Great Crested? Which eye, anyway? Will tapioca do just as well? If we substitute egg white will the spell a) work b) fail or c) melt the bottom out of the cauldron? Goodie Whemper's curiosity about such things was huge and insatiable*. * Nearly insatiable. It was probably satiated in her last flight to test whether a broomstick could survive having its bristles pulled out one by one in mid-air. According to the small black raven she had trained as a flight recorder, the answer was almost certainly no.”

“She never sent the castle to sleep”, said Granny, “that’s just an old wife’s tale. She just stirred up time a little. It’s not as hard as people think, everyone does it all the time. It’s like rubber, is time, you can stretch it to suit yourself.” Magrat was about to say: That’s not right, time is time, every second lasts a second, that’s its job. Then she recalled weeks that had flown past and afternoons that had lasted forever. Some minutes had lasted hours, some hours had gone past so quickly she hadn’t been aware they’d gone past at all. “But that’s just people’s perception, isn’t it?” “Oh yes”, said Granny, “of course it is, it all is, what difference does that make?”

“Senin iğrenç iltifatlarına karşı sağırım," dedi dük. "Senin şeytani cilvelerini hor görüyorum. İşkence göreceksin, bilsen iyi olur." Bu gereken etkiyi yaratmamış gibiydi. Dadı zindana, bir turistin meraklı ilgisiyle göz gezdiriyordu. "Sonra da yakılacaksın," dedi düşes "Tamam," dedi dadı. "Tamam mı?" "Eh, bu lanet yer buz gibi. Oradaki çivili büyük gardrop gibi şey ne?" Dük titriyordu. "Aha" dedi. "Artık anladın ha? O sevgili hanımefendi, Demir Leydi. En son model. Şimdi onu-" "İçine girip bakabilir miyim?" "Yakarışlarına kulaklarım sağır..." Dükün sesi soldu gitti. Tikleri gene başladı.”

“It has already been mentioned that Duke Felmet was one step away from the throne. The step in question was at the top of the flight leading to the Great Hall, down which King Verence had tumbled in the dark only to land, against all laws of probability, on his own dagger. It had, however, been declared by his own physician to be a case of natural causes. Bentzen had gone to see the man and explained that falling down a flight of steps with a dagger in your back was a disease caused by unwise opening of the mouth. In fact it had already been caught by several members of the king's own bodyguard who had been a little bit hard of hearing. There had been a minor epidemic.”
