"No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away." ~ TP, Reaper Man
An absolute force. I've got a bookshelf devoted to Pratchett, and it's only going to grow. RIP.

- dpeck 12y agoI always liked the following sentences to that one too. "No-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away - until the clock they wound up winds down, until the wine they 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."

I type this now from her cottage in some impoverished mountains where she is the local midwife. So Mr. Pratchett has another 50 years of women without healthcare getting access to a reasonable birthing experience to ripple out.
