Ooh, what about that old lay "The Wizard's Staff has a Knob on the End"?

Granny Weatherwax is a study in the proper use of power. Granny Ogg added the compassion and humanity to their coven. Magrat was just finding her feet.

Greebo is... well, he fathered a lot of kittens.

I can find no better way to define sin. Wise Sir Terry found brilliant ways to address tricky issues. He created some characters to use a vehicles for his particular view of the world. Granny Weatherwax is one such character.

The fact I needed to explain to a friends of mine that Moist von Lipvig was a pseudonym for "damp mustache" made my faith in humanity drop just a tiny, tiny fraction.

This obliquely highlights on of the true unsung heroes of Discworld: Otto von Chriek. The vampire photographer who regularly suffered skin burns from the flash on his camera. He sacrifices and suffers for his art!

For all the Sir Terry Pratchett and Discworld fans out there, this is my favorite book by him. The older I get, the more I understand it. Pratchett pretty much wrote philosophical treatise in this novel. It's astounding.

RINCEWIND! You're bastard, Rincewind! You got me addicted to Discworld novels, and then -- THEN! -- to the sorrow of losing an author I loved.

Actually, I love you, Rincewind, and my life is better for having known you.

Ah, sing praises to Wise Sir Terry! I've read everything he wrote. It felt like I knew his mind. I was sad for a year when he died. I miss reading new novels by him, but I return the others like old friends I've know most of my life.

"Men at Arms" is such a classic. Should be required reading!

His ancillary quote of Carl Sagan had me laughing for days:
"Sometimes it’s better to light a flamethrower than to curse the darkness."

Who wouldn't want a Luggage of their own? A vicious chest made of sentient pearwood with a hundred little legs who will attack or defend without hesitation... and pretty much always win. I have a nice warm spot atop my dresser waiting for one!

One of my absolutely favorite phrases from him because is recasting a Carl Sagan phrase.

I miss Wise Sir Terry so much. His ability to make me (and millions of other) laugh while thinking about very deep, very serious ideas never failed to amaze me.
