Fun fact: "Night Watch" by GNU Terry Pratchett is a new Penguin Classic.

And while it may be past the 25th of May, I hope your lilac still blooms.

And if you don't understand why the quote post matches the quoted post, then it's past time for you to read the book

Humorous quote by Terry Pratchett: "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Late lilac, Syringa villosa, blooming today in someone else’s garden, just in time for the Glorious 25th! How do they rise up #lilacs #Glorious25thOfMay #HowDoTheyRiseUp #gnuTerryPratchett
Two branches of a lilac in profuse bloom, not a common lilac but one with smaller flowers and deeply veined leaves.

I can't wear the lilac. I wasn't there.
But I've read the history books.

Yes, thought Vimes. That's the way it was. Privilege, which just means private law. Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it. Well, it's not like that now--

Page 49 of the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Night Watch by Terry Pratchett. Most of the text is covered by a postcard featuring Sir Terry Pratchett (left) facing Discworld's Death over a chessboard. Across the bottom of the black and white postcard is some text: "DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING," said Death. "JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH." The text beneath the bottom of the postcard reads Yes, thought Vimes. That's the way it was. Privilege, which just means private law. Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it. Well, it's not like that now--

Happy #TheGlorious25th folks! #HowDoTheyRiseUp Some great lilac pics on the feed and hashtag.
We don't have any lilac in our garden at the moment, closest is this tree with blue flowers I've forgotten the name of, but the bees are loving it.
Close up of a branch full of purplish blue flowers, which grow in small dense clusters, surrounded by green leaves. Towards the top of the picture a couple of bees are crawling over the flowers.

The glorious 25th again. Remember that the things you do can make a difference, that defeat and victory are both temporary, and that you owe it to yourself and others to take comfort and a hard boiled egg where you can find them. #HowDoTheyRiseUp #Glorious25thOfMay
