A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Belief is one of the most powerful organic forces in the multiverse. It may not be able to move mountains, exactly. But it can create someone who can.

"No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock 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 is only the core of their actual existence."
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

@maisiesummers we get you! We thought the same thing, and we’re sure he complained somewhere too. Though the Collector’s Library edition of #ReaperMan was published in 2013, while #Pratchett was still alive, so we can only assume he didn’t have as much control over those editions as he might have liked. Or that he changed his mind about how important it was, since we’re not sure any editions after the first use the same typeface... (If anyone has the new Penguin one, let us know!)

@maisiesummers The original YES is supposed to be on the next page, so when you turn it, the word hits you straight in the eyeballs. Terry wrote extra words to get it placed that way.
I can’t remember when he talked about it but he definitely cared and I’m sure the Collector’s Edition would’ve counted as a screwup in his eyes.

I'm up to #ReaperMan in my #Discworld Read through. I love the mayflies bit.
It's my 3rd or 4th time reading them all.

'Anyway, either the gods are there whether you believe or not, or exist only as a function of the belief, so either way you might as well ignore the whole business'#reaperman quote that pretty much sums up my view of religious belief
reading #smallgods & #americangods by @neilhimself along with a secondary school level of classical studies pretty much cemented my humanism -
@mike
even #DEATH as #BillDoor in #TerryPratchett's #Discworld novel #ReaperMan didn't wear the robe when he used his #scythe for an actual #harvest ;) http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/1/10/RPRMNJKNCP1991.jpg -
"I FINALLY HAVE TIME!"
— "What are you going to do with it?"
"I'M GOING TO SPEND IT."
