I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

An hour ago I saw Samuel Vimes. It's nice to see Terry Pratchett fans around

Fun fact - my childhood nickname (and online handle) was used (with permission) by the great man himself! (As the name of a hearty military soup :P )

That is fun!

Did you know him personally? What's the story?

I wish! Nah, I went to the Discworld Convention when I was 8 or so, and met him at one of the book-signing events, where he noticed my namebadge. Though even in the few minutes that I spent chatting with him there, he was very obviously a warm, kind, generous man. GNU Terry Pratchett.

That's awesome!

And you get to live on forever as soup in the Discworld.
