Quotes

Mort, p. 97—Keli (first speaker) and Cutwell (replying). The full quote without ellipsis:
"But people can see and hear me!”
"The first thing you learn when you enroll at Unseen University, I’m afraid, is that people don't pay much attention to that sort of thing. It's what their mind tells them that's important."

"Our minds make stories, and stories make our minds. Each culture's Make-a-Human kit is built from stories, and maintained by stories. A story can be a rule for living according to one's culture, a useful survival trick, a clue to the grandeur of the universe, or a mental hypothesis about what might happen if we pursue a particular course. Stories map out the phase space of existence." (Science of Discworld II: 327)

Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.
