I like that! I was thinking of Jean's attitude to knowledge being acquired at the right time, in the right way ... that understanding the process counts for more than having the tool. (As opposed to Vappy, who'd love to have mortals reliant on a bunch of tools they don't understand properly.) Still, this is likely something Lightning learned from Knowledge, and I could easily see the quote's being one of Raphael's.

Any idiot can murder. A competent professional can arrange a suicide. But it takes an artist to produce a convincing natural death.

In a similar vein:

Janus
"Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten."
--Terry Pratchett, Mort

(And it's a pity in a way that Alaemon has already been done, because Hogfather had the perfect one for the Prince of Secrets: "The truth is out there, but lies are inside your head.")
