Thief Of Time: (Discworld Novel 26)

In this installment of the Discworld series, the Auditors of Reality, beings who despise the messy unpredictability of life, decide to eliminate time itself. To do so, they create a perfect, unstoppable clock that will freeze the universe. The only hope lies with a young clockmaker named Jeremy, who is unwittingly drawn into the plot, and the eccentric martial arts master, Lu-Tze, a sweeper from the History Monks. Together with his apprentice, Lobsang, they must race against the clock to prevent the end of all time, facing philosophical questions about the nature of existence, the value of mortality, and the importance of living in the moment. more

“No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it.

“The book was in her lap; she had read no further. The power to change one’s life comes from a paragraph, a lone remark. The lines that penetrate us are slender, like the flukes that live in river water and enter the bodies of swimmers. She was excited, filled with strength. The polished sentences had arrived, it seemed, like so many other things, at just the right time. How can we imagine what our lives should be without the illumination of the lives of others?”

“As we continued to talk, going through the motions of getting to know each other, I realized that we already did know each other, as well as any two people could. We’d known each other for years, in the most intimate way possible. We’d connected on a purely mental level. I understood her, trusted her, and loved her as a dear friend. None of that had changed, or could be changed by anything as inconsequential as her gender, or skin color, or sexual orientation.”
