I remember something that my granny told me once about these misty mountains of ours they call the Smokies. Granny said God hung that haze on purpose, to hide these hills from the folks up in Heaven who was raised here, so they wouldn't look down and be homesick. ~ Vicki Lane
Granny quotes by Vicki Lane
Find the story, Granny Weatherwax always said. She believed that the world was full of story shapes. If you let them, they controlled you. But if you studied them, if you found out about them ... you could use them, you could change them. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
George used to say that Granny wasn't a time-optimist, she was a time-atheist, and the only religion she believed in was Do-It-Later-Buddhism. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
Jamie turned to Shaya. "Ever played that game, 'hit Granny with the polo mallet? ~ Suzanne Wright
Granny quotes by Suzanne Wright
Ella turned to the fireplace where a blackened kettle hung over what Granny Weatherwax always called an optimist's fire: two logs and hope. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Keep busy, Granny Sugars used to say, even if with poker, fighting, and fast cars, because idleness will get you in worse trouble. ~ Dean Koontz
Granny quotes by Dean Koontz
I used to get a lot of people saying 'Oh, you are such a lucky granny.' But the fact of the matter is you can be a grandma at 35 these days. ~ Jo Brand
Granny quotes by Jo Brand
Greebo turned upon Granny Weatherwax a yellow-eyed stare of self-satisfied malevolence, such as cats always reserve for people who don't like them, and purred. Greebo was possibly the only cat who could snigger in purr. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Granny Weatherwax looked out at the multi-layered, silvery world.

"Where am I?"

INSIDE THE MIRROR.

"Am I dead?"

THE ANSWER TO THAT, said Death, IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NO AND YES.

Esme turned, and a billion figures turned with her.

"When can I get out?"

WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT'S REAL.

"Is this a trick question?"

NO.

Granny looked down at herself.

"This one," she said. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
My granny would come out and stay with us in the winter, and we would listen to the reports from the coastal stations and have a discussion in the middle of Glasgow about what the weather was like in Tiree. ~ Johann Lamont
Granny quotes by Johann Lamont
Because when you love someone very much, it's difficult to learn to share her with someone else. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
Because improbable tragedies create improbable superheroes. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
Then Magrat, who in Nanny Ogg's opinion had an innocent talent for treading on dangerous ground, said: "I wonder if we did the right thing? I'm sure it was a job for a handsome prince." "Hah!" said Granny, who was riding ahead. "And what good would that be? Cutting your way through a bit of bramble is how you can tell he's going to be a good husband, is it? That's fairy godmotherly thinking, that is! Goin' around inflicting happy endings on people whether they wants them or not, eh? ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
I grew silent and reserved as the nature of the world in which I lived became plain and undeniable; the bleakness of the future affected my will to study. Granny had already thrown out hints that it was time for me to be on my own. But what had I learned so far that would help me to make a living? Nothing. I could be a porter like my father before me, but what else? And the problem of living as a Negro was cold and hard. What was it that made the hate of whites for blacks so steady, seemingly so woven into the texture of things? What kind of life was possible under that hate? How had this ~ Richard Wright
Granny quotes by Richard Wright
Her granny always called her complexion peaches and cream and said her freckles added character. Yeah, cause I need more of that. ~ Julia Mills
Granny quotes by Julia Mills
granny-humping butt sucker! ~ Annie Nicholas
Granny quotes by Annie Nicholas
I'm an absolute clean freak. I'll go to my friends' houses and even start cleaning. I'm such a granny at heart. My couch is my best friend. ~ Cassie Scerbo
Granny quotes by Cassie Scerbo
And turns out, it's not Republicans throwing granny off a cliff ... It's the Fed!? ~ Neil Cavuto
Granny quotes by Neil Cavuto
I asked Granny one time if she thought green might be God's favorite color since he'd made so many shades of it. ~ Sheila Kay Adams
Granny quotes by Sheila Kay Adams
I was clenching the steering wheel like a granny, but driving like I was trying out for NASCAR. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Granny quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My granny used to say to me, "The day you stop learning should be the day you die. ~ Karamo Brown
Granny quotes by Karamo Brown
Then it came to her. She did not deserve to die. And she was not alone. She never would be. Not while her land was beneath her boots. Her land. The land of the Achings.
She was Tiffany Aching. Not Granny Weatherwax, but a witch in her own right. A witch who knew exactly who she was and how she wanted to do things. Her way. And she had not failed, because she had barely begun ... ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Beware, beware of those who care,' as some wise person said. Not that I'm suggesting there is anything wrong with caring. But as Granny Maud used to say, 'Fine words butter no parsnips,' and she might have added, 'Caring should be felt and not heard. ~ Salley Vickers
Granny quotes by Salley Vickers
In the library
I search for a good book.
We have many books,
says Mrs. Rose, the librarian,
and ALL of them are good.
Of course she says that. It's her job.
But do I want to read about
Trucks
Trains and
Transport?
Or even
Horses
Houses and
Hyenas?

In the fiction corner
there are pink boks
full of princesses
and girls who want to be princesses
and black books
about bad boys
and brave boys
and brawny boys.

Where is the book
about a girl
whose poems don't rhyme
and whose Granny is fading?
Pearl, says Mrs. Rose, the bell has rung.

I go back to class
empty-handed
empty headed
empty-hearted. ~ Sally Murphy
Granny quotes by Sally Murphy
Granny used to describing giving your life as "ultimate sacrifice", but I don't know about that. Dying is definitely the LAST sacrifice you can make, but sometimes, it's your first one that sets the tone for everything that follows. ~ Brian K. Vaughan
Granny quotes by Brian K. Vaughan
Well, I suppose there's no place like home," she said. "No," said Granny Weatherwax, still looking thoughtful. "No. There's a billion places like home. But only one of 'em's where you live. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Fred, Fred, Fred, I'm sick of hearing about him!' snapped Jess's mum. 'He rang the other day, and straight away you were off out to meet him. Haven't you got any dignity? Any pride? Or will you just run off out at the beck and call of any Tom, Dick, or Harry?'

'Well, I wouldn't cross the road to see Tom or Dick, but if it was Prince Harry, well, now you're talking!' she said. Granny laughed. Mum looked cross and ran her fingers through her hair in a tragic and fatigued way. ~ Sue Limb
Granny quotes by Sue Limb
...older than God's Granny..."

Just heard this for the first time - that's killer! ~ Chris L. Adams
Granny quotes by Chris L. Adams
Tiffany had wondered how Granny and Mrs. Proust would get on, given that both of them were as proud as a cat full of sixpences. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
We ain't going to curse anyone," said Granny firmly. "It hardly ever works if they don't know you've done it. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Courage is freedom, and freedom is joy. Be fully who you are, letting the world get used to you - it will! Find a loving community of friends who support your ever-flowering growth, which is a lifetime proposition. ~ Doris "Granny D" Haddock
Granny quotes by Doris
On a million hillsides the girl ran, on a million bridges the girl chose, on a million paths the woman stood...
All different, all one.
All she could do for all of them was be herself, here and now, as hard as she could. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
If you read 'Lord of the Rings' and dismiss it as a lie because it has orcs and elves, you're missing the whole point of the story. If children don't have to be concerned about strangers because there's no such thing as a Big Bad Wolf dressed like Granny, you're missing the point. ~ Doug TenNapel
Granny quotes by Doug TenNapel
Listen, I must be 110 by now. Granny is going to kick the bucket at some point. ~ Maggie Smith
Granny quotes by Maggie Smith
I trust my wife's judgement," Matthew said firmly.
"That's what Philippe says about Granny," Gallowglass muttered under his breath. "Just before all hell breaks lose. ~ Deborah Harkness
Granny quotes by Deborah Harkness
Smell is so powerful, you know. My grannies would both bake things like shortbreads and cookies. I think whenever I smell those kinds of things it really takes me back to my childhood. ~ Curtis Stone
Granny quotes by Curtis Stone
He'll also cut you some slack if you're astonishingly stupid in an amusing fashion. Granny claimed that this explains why uncountable millions of breathtakingly stupid people get along just fine in life. ~ Dean Koontz
Granny quotes by Dean Koontz
He is wearing a rugby shirt with numbers and a little man on a horse on his chest. Kent has told Elsa that this sort of shirt costs more than a thousand kronor, and Granny always used to say that those sorts of shirts were a good thing, because the horse functioned as a sort of manufacturer's warning that the shirt was highly likely to be transporting a muppet. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
I'll tell you what I see, and at no charge. You know much of war, you carry its spirit stabbed deep inside you, just as he up there has the steel within him. Just as deeply buried, just as hard and unyielding to all the softer things you are and want and own to. And just as bitter in its wounding. You think you'll be free of it one day; you carry it as if the wound will someday heal. But for you, just as for him, there will be no healing."
"Wow." Ringil reached up left-handed and tapped the pommel of the Ravensfriend with his fingers. "Nice guesses. I'm sorry, Granny. It's still no sale. ~ Richard K. Morgan
Granny quotes by Richard K. Morgan
I'd noticed it because it was so weirdly out of place, a defiant crimson McIntosh in an army of dull green Granny Smiths. ~ Michael Grant
Granny quotes by Michael Grant
My life came down to being a granny and watching a lot of television. ~ Joni Mitchell
Granny quotes by Joni Mitchell
Granny Panties'? They are called comfy cotton, I'll have you know. They came in six festive colors! ~ T.S. Joyce
Granny quotes by T.S. Joyce
My dandy voice makes the most anti-choice granny's panties moist, ~ MC Paul Barman
Granny quotes by MC Paul Barman
The smug mask of virtue triumphant could be almost as horrible as the face of wickedness revealed. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Granny looked up at the zombie. He was - or, technically, had been - a tall, handsome man. He still was, only now he looked like someone who had walked through a room full of cobwebs.
'What's your name, dead man?' she said. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Ask them about their sex lives or their drinking habits or the times they beat up on Granny and they may dodge around a little but eventually they'll tell you all about it - they're dying to tell. Get to the money question, though, and they start acting like you just tore off all their clothes in public. In some way, money is the cover we use for the most intimate parts of ourselves. ~ Elizabeth Gunn
Granny quotes by Elizabeth Gunn
And in an apartment on the other side of town, everyone wakes up with a start when the hound in the first-floor flat, without any warning, starts howling. Louder and more heartrendingly than anything they have ever heard coming out of the primal depths of any animal. As if it is singing with the sorrow and yearning of an eternity of ten thousand fairy tales. It howls for hours, all through the night, until dawn.
And when the morning light seeps into the hospital room, Elsa wakes up in Granny's arms. But Granny is still in Miamas. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
When I look in the mirror, I sometimes think I'm getting old, but then I have two generations behind me so that helps puts things into perspective. I am a grandmother now, but at least my nine-year-old grandson Jude calls me Glamma and not Granny. ~ Stephanie Beacham
Granny quotes by Stephanie Beacham
She did nothing, although sometimes when she saw him in the village she'd smile in a faint, puzzled way. After three weeks of this the suspense was too much for him and he took his own life; in fact he took it all the way across the continent, where he became a reformed character and never went home again. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Granny disapproved of magic for domestic purposes, but she was annoyed. She also wanted her tea. She threw a couple of logs into the fireplace and glared at them until they burst into flame out of sheer embarrassment. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Yes, but it's not good for anyone, all this taxing and killing folk. The new sergeant they've got is a keen man when it comes to setting fire for cottages, too. Old Verence used to do it too, mind, but ... well ..."
"I know, I know. It was more personal," said Granny. "You felt he MEANT it. People like to feel they're valued. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Hah!" said Granny Weatherwax. "I should just say it is a folk song! I knows all about folk songs. Hah! You think you're listenin' to a nice song about ... cuckoos and fiddlers and nightingales and whatnot, and then it turns out to be about ... something else entirely," she added darkly. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Granny said tardiness was nothing but bad manners, and that people with bad manners lacked character. Erlene ~ Scott Pratt
Granny quotes by Scott Pratt
Sabrina suggested they burn their orange monkey sweaters and blue heart covered pants but Daphne refused. Granny took Sabrina aside and apologised for the outfit, saying that Mr. Canis might not have been the right choice to shop for girls. After all, he was colour-blind. ~ Michael Buckley
Granny quotes by Michael Buckley
Suddenly there was a humming in the air, and the bees were there too. They flowed out of Granny Weatherwax's hive, circling Tiffany like a halo, crowning her, and swarm and girl stood on the threshold of the cottage and Tiffany reached out her arms and the bees settled along them, and welcomed her home. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Only different people change the world," Granny used to say. "No one normal has ever changed a crapping thing. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
You might be a redneck if you stand under the mistletoe at Christmas and wait for Granny and cousin Sue-Ellen to walk by. ~ Jeff Foxworthy
Granny quotes by Jeff Foxworthy
I used to go out wearing any old rubbish, no make-up, nothing, but since mobile phones, that has all had to stop. People do come up to you so often and say hello, or want a photograph, and I just can't do it anymore in what I used to wear. They don't want to be seen hanging off a rabid old granny any more than I do. ~ Joanna Lumley
Granny quotes by Joanna Lumley
Christ's father let him die on that cross. I understand why he done it. But Christ never had no granny like me. ~ Taylor Brown
Granny quotes by Taylor  Brown
Her granny was asleep and Mary knew it was special, this trip. It was something that hadn't been planned. It was actually impossible. Four generations of women
"I'm a woman," Mary said to herself
heading off on a journey in a car. One of them dead, one of them dying, one of them driving, one of them just starting out. ~ Roddy Doyle
Granny quotes by Roddy Doyle
Esme Weatherwax hadn't done nice. She'd done what was needed. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Many people could say things in a cutting way, Nanny knew. But Granny Weatherwax could listen in a cutting way. She could make something sound stupid just by hearing it. ~ Robert Silverberg
Granny quotes by Robert Silverberg
And now the birds were singing overhead, and there was a soft rustling in the undergrowth, and all the sounds of the forest that showed that life was still being lived blended with the souls of the dead in a woodland requiem.
The whole forest now sang for Granny Weatherwax. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Being in my mom's skin, feeling what she'd felt those years before. It was the sudden realization that my dying granny, who had been distant and alien to me, was my mom's mom. ~ Hugh Howey
Granny quotes by Hugh Howey
We have a duty to look after each other. If we lose control of our government, then we lose our ability to dispense justice and human kindness. Our first priority today, then, is to defeat utterly those forces of greed and corruption that have come between us and our self-governance. ~ Doris "Granny D" Haddock
Granny quotes by Doris
She's holding a crossword magazine in her hand. Britt-Marie likes crosswords very much because there are very clear rules about how to do them, She only ever does them in pencil, though - Granny always said Britt-Marie was the sort of woman who would have to drink two glasses of wine and feel really wild and crazy to be able to fantasise about solving a crossword in ink. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
She'd struck Esk once before – the blow a baby gets to introduce it to the world and give it a rough idea of what to expect from life. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
What's to be afraid of?' she managed. 'Us,' said Granny Weatherwax, smugly. The ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
The eighties?' I said. 'As in, the nineteen-eighties? The decade that taste forgot? Honest, Sophie, ask your granny. Ask mine, if you like. She'll tell you the only good thing about it was that the internet and phone cameras weren't invented, well hardly anyway, so most of the awful photos are lying out of sight in drawers and shoeboxes. ~ Ken MacLeod
Granny quotes by Ken MacLeod
Me dad planted that tree,' she said absently, pointing out through the old cracked window.
The great beech filled at least half the sky and shook shadows all over the house.
Its roots clutched the slope like a giant hand, holding the hill in place. Its trunk writhed with power, threw off veils of green dust, rose towering into the air, branched into a thousand shaded alleys, became a city for owls and squirrels. I had thought such trees to be as old as the earth, I never dreamed that a man could make them. Yet it was Granny Trill's dad who had planted this tree, had thrust in the seed with his finger. How old must he have been to leave such a mark? Think of Granny's age, and add his on top, and you were back at the beginning of the world. ~ Laurie Lee
Granny quotes by Laurie Lee
It was a Saturday and Granny and Elsa were going to an exhibition about dinosaurs. That was the morning Mum put the Gryffindor scarf in the wash without asking and made Elsa take another scarf - a vomit-green one. Mum knows Elsa hates green. She really lacks empathy sometimes, that woman. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
My heart crys out ,
Knowing I cant see you,
Seeing your smile,
Feeling your touch ,
Eating your food,
Missing you oh so much,
its hurt to see I lost you in my present ,
a day as a child,
but I was young in i didnt know how.
I missed you sweet granny ~ Shaneika Marie
Granny quotes by Shaneika Marie
I don't hold with paddlin' with the occult," said Granny firmly. "Once you start paddlin' with the occult you start believing in spirits, and when you start believing in spirits you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are you're believing in gods. And then you're in trouble."
"But all them things exist," said Nanny Ogg.
"That's no call to go around believing in them. It only encourages 'em. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Are they trained to treat everyone as a servant?'
'Probably. That doesn't make you into one, ~ Sherwood Smith
Granny quotes by Sherwood Smith
Has being on Duck Dynasty made you more comfortable in the public eye?

Jess: I never thought I'd get up and speak in front of thousands of people. The show has made us braver. I'm willing to show the world who we are, to tell our story, and to use this opportunity God has given us to share His love and His Word with other people. Anyway, it's all from Him, and we know we are blessed.
Jep: I want to be a great role model, and so I'm willing to get up and tell my story, even the hard parts, if it will help others. I also want to help people get back to the old ways with hunting and how much joy it is to provide for your family. I don't ever want to lose that and be some kind of a rich guy who has it made. Also, I never want to move away from Louisiana. I want my kids to grow up with their grandparents, cousins, and uncles and aunts. I learned so much from my granny, and I want my kids to have those relationships and teachable moments too. There's something about being in a smaller town; the pace of life here is so different, but in a good way. ~ Jep Robertson
Granny quotes by Jep Robertson
It is out of reality that the most peculiar tale of all is born ... Some call me the Elder Granny, others - the Dryad, but my real name is Memory. It is I who sits on a tree that keeps on growing, and growing, it is I who reminisces and tells stories. ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Granny quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
Nanny Ogg scowled and said, "Granny never said as she was better than others. She just got on with it and showed 'em and people worked it out for themselves. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
You, sir," I said, "have all the dignity of a badger with the clap. Shark shit has more fiber than you. I'm going to tie your nuts-first to a monkey's cage and make a mix tape of the resulting noise. Then I'm going to take a bag of marshmallows and a pair of granny panties and-" ...
... He didn't want to know what I was going to do with those granny panties. Surprisingly, Granuaile did. "Sensei, what were you going to do with those marshmallows and panties?" she whispered as we walked together. "I mean, I'm sure it had to be dire, but it just didn't sound as threatening as the potential havoc a monkey could wreak on his sack."
"There was more to that recipe," I admitted. "He cut me off before I could get to the Icy Hot and the gopher snake. ~ Kevin Hearne
Granny quotes by Kevin Hearne
William asked Diana if she'd seen the portrait of the Queen in yesterday's papers. "Her hands looked like she'd been in the garden all day; they were all big and dirty," he laughed. Diana giggled instinctively, then stopped herself. "William, please, don't say that."
"Sorry, Mummy, but it's true: Granny did look really funny."
Granny. How odd it sounded.
"Can I have some wine, Mummy?"
"No, William! Whatever are you thinking?"
"But Mummy, I drink it all the time."
"Erm, no, you don't actually, and, well, you can't have any."
"Yes, I can," he replied with a mischievous but determined grin.
And he did. A small but interesting piece of power play to observe. William knew what he wanted, and Diana was a soft touch with her boys.
- Piers Morgan ~ Larry King
Granny quotes by Larry King
I am a harmless old seller of apples," she said, in a voice more appropriate for the opening of hostilities in a middle-range war. "Pray let me past, dearie." The last word had knives in it.
"No-one must enter the castle," said one of the guards. "Orders of the duke."
Granny shrugged. The apple-seller gambit had never worked more than once in the entire history of witchcraft, as far as she knew, but it was traditional.
"I know you, Champett Poldy," she said. "I recall I laid out your grandad and I brought you into the world." She glanced at the crowds, which had regathered a little way off, and turned back to the guard, whose face was already a mask of terror. She leaned a little closer, and said, "I gave you your first good hiding in this valley of tears and by all the gods if you cross me now I will give you your last."
There was a soft metallic noise as the spear fell out of the man's fearful fingers. Granny reached and gave the trembling man a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"But don't worry about it," she added. "Have an apple. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Small towns make up for their lack of people by having everyone be more interesting. ~ Doris "Granny D" Haddock
Granny quotes by Doris
I won't tell if you don't." I winked.
Granny laughed.
In the South, a wink speaks louder than words. ~ Tonya Kappes
Granny quotes by Tonya Kappes
Here's the deal: no touching, no hand-holding, no flirting, no sexy talk, no dancing, and absolutely no kissy face."

"You didn't mention no sex, did you? I might have you on a technicality."


"You and me alone, eating, talking, maybe even having a good time. Yeah, it might be a date."


"I've seen what's in your pantry, and I respect my arteries too much to indulge."

"That's the thing about snakes - even if they're harmless, they look like such badasses it doesn't really matter."

"You're lying. You're really wearing a pair of granny panties. ~ Wendy Byrne
Granny quotes by Wendy Byrne
I first fell in love with comedy when I'd visit my granny as a kid. Trips to her house meant staying up late drinking Coca-Cola and watching 'Saturday Night Live'. ~ Jessica Williams
Granny quotes by Jessica Williams
Some things, if you don't do them, they follow you all your life, whispering in your ear," says Granny Carne. She faces me sternly as if she's judging me. "You'll find a dozen good reasons why you pulled back from the Call, and you'll even fool yourself that you had no other choice. But in your bed at night you'll curse yourself for a coward. ~ Helen Dunmore
Granny quotes by Helen Dunmore
A familiar image of a grim, frozen Russia is the babushka, the old woman, hunched and determined, head wrapped in a scarf. Her gnarled face stares out from old Ellis Island photographs and modern cable specials, and never fails to elicit awwwwws from concerned Westerners who'd love nothing more than to hug poor, helpless Granny and tell her that everything's going to be all right. That is misguided, and potentially hazardous. Women who had survived long enough to become grandmothers by the 1980s were Russia's rocks. Their generation had a hard life, even by the unforgiving standards of mother Russia. Forged from the crucible of wars, famines, and purges, the babushki had witnessed entire populations of husbands and sons vanish into the grave. These women were instilled with fierce matriarchal instinct, the notion that they were responsible for the welfare of all society, not just their kin, and underneath their kerchiefs the babushki watched, and listened, and remembered, and commanded. ~ Lev Golinkin
Granny quotes by Lev Golinkin
This was more uncomfortable than sex talk with Granny. ~ Shelly Crane
Granny quotes by Shelly Crane
But Granny was the sort of person you brought with you when you went to war, and that was what Elsa loved about her. ~ Fredrik Backman
Granny quotes by Fredrik Backman
I did start out in witchcraft to get boys, to tell you the truth.'
'Think I don't know that?'
'What did you start out to get, Esme?'
Granny stopped, and looked up at the frosty sky and then down at the ground.
'Dunno,' she said at last.'Even, I suppose. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
They bombed my granny's chippie, left it completely flat. I'll have her for that ~ Jane Couch
Granny quotes by Jane Couch
Did Lovelace's forces find you? Did Jabor break in?"
He spoke slowly through clenched teeth. "I went to get a newspaper"
This is getting better and better! I shook my head regretfully. "You should leave such a dangerous assignment to people better qualified: next time ask an old granny, or a toddler- ~ Jonathan Stroud
Granny quotes by Jonathan Stroud
There should be people around, shouldn't there? Vimes was hazy on rural issues, but weren't there supposed to be charcoal burners, woodcutters, and ... he tried to think ... little girls taking goodies to granny? The stories Vimes had learned as a kid suggested that all forests were full of bustle, activity, and the occasional scream. But this place was silent. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
She never sent the castle to sleep", said Granny, "that's just and 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. The 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? ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
PRAY TELL ME, WHY WERE YOU CONTENT TO LIVE IN THIS TINY LITTLE COUNTRY WHEN, AS YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING AND ANYBODY IN THE WORLD? "I don't know about the world, not much; but in my part of the world I could make little miracles for ordinary people," Granny replied sharply. "And I never wanted the world - just a part of it, a small part that I could keep safe, that I could keep away from storms. Not the ones of the sky, you understand: there are other kinds. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Granny Ditto always referred to perfume as 'smell good' and for me it's an essential. I have a sweetheart who's extremely allergic to most scents, so I have to be extra careful - as well as creative - in the smell department. The key, I've found, are essential oils, which come in all kinds of 100% natural scents. ~ Beth Ditto
Granny quotes by Beth Ditto
Not that I mind white granny panties; they all slip down a woman's thighs the same way: slowly and with a sweet satisfying sound when they hit the floor. ~ Sara Ney
Granny quotes by Sara Ney
It's about enhancing your body and accentuating your good areas. Shapewear isn't the ugly, embarrassing granny undies they used to be - they really are sexy. ~ Ricki-Lee Coulter
Granny quotes by Ricki-Lee Coulter
And Granny Weatherwax said, "I was younger when I last danced with you. But I am old now. There will be no more dances for me. ~ Terry Pratchett
Granny quotes by Terry Pratchett
Fire on the mountain," the granny woman said. "They up there sharpening they swords." Then she said that word again: freedom. ~ Terry Bisson
