Many people are talking about fantasy author Terry Pratchett, who passed away this week of a chest infection (He also had Alzheimers). Though he supported allowing people to give their doctors permission to kill them, he died of natural causes.

Fans continue to honor him with quotations and memories. “After losing the ability to touch type in 2012,” reports the Telegraph, “he used voice-recognition technology to complete his much-loved new works. He went on to become one of the most prominent and influential voices in the campaign for research into the disease, and was a patron of Alzheimers Research UK.

“When asked about his career in May 2014, he said: ‘It is possible to live well with dementia and write best-sellers ‘like wot I do.'”

Pratchett said many good, witty things, such as, “The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.” The Guardian has fifteen of the best.

Over 2,500 fans, so far, have petitioned Death to reinstate the author.
