Haven't you got any romance in your soul? said Magrat plaintively. No, said Granny. I ain't. And stars don't care what you wish, and magic don't make things better, and no one doesn't get burned who sticks their hand in a fire. If you want to amount to anything as a witch, Magrat Garlick, you got to learn three things. What's real, what's not real, and what's the difference. ✨ Witches Abroad. Book by Terry Pratchett, 1991.
