Sunday Inspiration: An Open Mind

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

Sunday Inspiration: Living

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. This is in fact true. It’s called living.

Terry Pratchett

British fantasy writer Terry Pratchett has passed away today after a years-long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Revealing his illness in 2007, the author — who had a strong following among fans of fantasy fiction — said he had been diagnosed with “a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s,” which he described as “an embuggerance.”

He said then, “Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful, because I think there’s time for at least a few more books yet.”
