For Sir Terry, who left early to beat the rush

[vulgarweed]

I know this comm has fallen pretty silent, but I'd love to see us come together again and chat a little bit in the comments like old times. One of our canon's co-creators has left us today.

"AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER."

Reminiscences and reflections and favorite quotes and tributes for our beloved Pterry.

Beautiful.

“The universe, they say, depended for its operation on the balance of four forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty, and bloody-mindedness.”

This? is obviously true.

He had a way of spelling out the obvious and giving it such dignity.

It's a little hard to believe it. I know I'm going to re-read some of his books, my favorites, mostly.

I'm going to be doing that over the next week or so too. Reaper Man was the closest to hand today, so I'm starting with that one.

So much laughter yet uncaused, so much posturing undeflated, so much wit unsharpened, so much humanity unshown...and so, so much colder...

He's in a better place but we are not. The world can ill lose such souls.

[irisbleufic]

But we can see to it such souls are never forgotten, and so we do.

[ladymouse2]

Amen!

This one's going around a lot so many of you have probably already seen it today, but it's a good one. (From "Reaper Man").

“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away-until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.”
