The Summoning of Dragon
Guards! Guards!, Terry Pratchett
'(...) The Summoning of Something. This is fun, isn't it! Fourth word. Whole word -'He peered intently as the Librarian gyrated mysteriously.
'Big thing. Huge big thing. Flapping. Great big flapping leaping thing. Teeth. Huffing. Blowing. Great big huge blowing flapping thing.' Sweat broke out on Carrot's forehead as he tried obediently to understand. 'Sucking fingers. Sucking fingers thing. Burnt. hot. Great big hot blowing flapping thing...'
The Librarian rolled his eyes. Homo sapiens? You could keep it.

Inside the mirror
Witches Abroad, Terry Pratchett
Lily 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.
Lily turned, and a billion figures turned with her.
'When can I get out?'
WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT'S REAL.
Lily Weatherwax ran on through the endless reflections.

Greebo
Wyrd Sisters, Terry Pratchett
Nanny Ogg was also out early. She hadn't been able to get any sleep anyway, and besides, she was worried about Greebo. Greebo was one of her few blind spots. While intellectually she would concede that he was indeed a fat, cunning, evil-smelling multiple rapist, she nevertheless instinctively pictured him as small fluffy kitten he had been decades before. The fact that he had once chased a female wolf up a tree and seriously surprised a she-bear who had been innocently digging for roots didn't stop her worrying that something bad might happen to him. It was generally considered by everyone else in the kingdom that the only thing that might slow Greebo down was a direct meteorite strike.
Only in our dreams...
Wyrd Sisters, Terry Pratchett
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Leaders
Wyrd Sisters, Terry Pratchett
Witches are not by nature gregarious, at least with other witches, and they certainly don't have leaders.Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn't have.
