"Age is always advancing and I'm fairly sure it's up to no good."
"Granny Weatherwax had a primal snore. It had never been tamed. No one had ever had to sleep next to it, to curb its wilder excesses by means of a kick, a prod in the small of the back, or a pillow used as a bludgeon. It had had years in a lonely bedroom to perfect the knark, the graaah, and the gnoc, gnoc, gnoc unimpeded by the nudges, jabs, and occasional attempts at murder that usually moderate the snore impulse over time."
"You can cover the wrinkles of age by becoming more cheerful and enthusiastic."
"Lines and greyness are nature's way of telling you not to fuck with someone - the equivalent of yellow and black lines on a wasp, or the markings on the back of a black widow spider."
"When you're twenty-one, life is a roadmap. It's only when you get to twenty-five or so that you begin to suspect you've been looking at the map upside down, and not until you're forty are you entirely sure. By the time you're sixty, take it from me, you're fucking lost."
"Some people do not really hate aging, they merely love the colour black."

"It's as close to true freedom as I have come. Not freedom of, but freedom from; freedom from the debris of life that piles up and forces us to dig and dig for our original self, who we were once upon a time, innocent and wonderfully naA ve, as authentically pure as a human can be."
"As I have aged, I've been lucky never to reach old. Old is always at least five or ten years beyond my current calendar stage."
"Some people get what they want because they grab the power and swing it, and some people don't."
"A silence overtook the odd family in their odd surroundings as loss became the mockery of the moment, and they were caught up in the emotional release that is common in a theater audience after the sudden ending of a tragic movie; the curtain closes and the people are still in their seats, numb and sighing their way back into reality."
"Seek until there is no hope and then seek further. Seek without end. Trudge on without tiring and without fear and without disheartenment. Trudge on, for it is within you to fight any enemy. It is who you are. It is your past and your present and your future. You will not quit. You cannot quit. Your breath is your courage, and as you breathe, so must you hope or you are already dead."
"If all you do is think about what you need, you're no better than an animal in the woods, and no smarter either. To be human, you've got to want. It makes you smarter and stronger."
"What a wonderful sadness to miss the one you have loved forever, it seems, and know that she is waiting at home."
