The Beast
Night Watch, Terry Pratchett
Vimes felt his hand begin to move of its own accord--And stopped. Red rage froze.
There was The Beast, all around him. And that's all it was. A beast. Useful, but still a beast. You could hold it on a chain, and make it dance, and juggle balls. It didn't think. It was dumb. What you were, what you were, was not The Beast.

Mine!
The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett
"All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!"
Twisted Mind
Men at Arms, Terry Pratchett
"We're dealing here," said Vimes, "With a twisted mind.""Oh, no! You think so?"
"Yes."
"But... no... you can't be right. Because Nobby was with us al the time."
"Not Nobby," said Vimes testily. "Whatever he might do to a dragon, I doubt if he'd make it explode. There's stranger people in this world than Corporal Nobbs, my lad."
Carrot's expression slid into a rictus of intrigued horror.
"Gosh," he said."

In fairy tales
