Our Terry Pratchett quote of this particular day, for a witch stands on the very edge of everything

"Ye mustn't be afraid to ask for help. Pride is a good thing, my girl, but it will kill you in time."

- from The Shepherd's Crown

“The ends of time?” said Nanny. “Look, Tiff, Esme tol’ me to say, if you wants to see Esmerelda Weatherwax, then just you look around. She is here. Us witches don’t mourn for very long. We are satisfied with happy memories—they’re there to be cherished.”

-from The Shepherd's Crown

And then there was an end to it, and Tiffany and You spiraled back the way they had come, and the Feegles were outside, patrolling up and down and enjoying the happy opportunity of fighting a tree or two, since no elves had turned up, but these trees were still right scunners, stickin’ their barbs as they did into Feegle heads and beards. They deserved a guid kickin’.

-from The Shepherd's Crown

#quote #Discworld #TerryPratchett #TheShepherdsCrown

For a witch stands on the very edge of everything, between the light and the dark, between life and death, making choices, making decisions so that others may pretend no decisions have even been needed. Sometimes they need to help some poor soul through the final hours, help them to find the door, not to get lost in the dark.

-from The Shepherd's Crown

#quote #Discworld #TerryPratchett #witches #TheShepherdsCrown

YOU ARE TAKING THIS VERY WELL, ESME WEATHERWAX. “It’s an inconvenience, true enough, and I don’t like it at all, but I know that you do it for everyone, Mr. Death. Is there any other way?” NO, THERE ISN’T, I’M AFRAID. WE ARE ALL FLOATING IN THE WINDS OF TIME. BUT YOUR CANDLE, MISTRESS WEATHERWAX, WILL FLICKER FOR SOME TIME BEFORE IT GOES OUT—A LITTLE REWARD FOR A LIFE WELL LIVED. FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT. . . .

It's like chess, you know. The Queen saves the King.

I just finished Terry Pratchett's final book, #TheShepherdsCrown, and I was not prepared to feel this much grief.

For reasons, I have finally finished reading #theshepherdscrown by #terrypratchett. Lots to think on and a great reminder of why I need to go back and re-read more Discworld.
