“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules.

“Granny Weatherwax was firmly against fiction. Life was hard enough without lies floating around and changing the way people thought.
