RIP

An amazing heart has stopped beating, fantasy author and creator of the Discworld series Sir Terry Pratchett has died at home aged 66, having had Alzheimer's disease (which he called an 'embuggerance') for eight years. He is one of my favorite writers. My screen name, Miss Tick, is taken from a very minor character in a couple of his discworld books. I am saddened by his loss.

A few of the literally thousands of quotes from his writings.

"It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it." Terry Pratchett

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” - Terry Pratchett

“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.” - Terry Pratchett

"It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life." - Terry Pratchett
