“If I had been Terry Pratchett the farmer, or Terry Pratchett the dentist, nobody would have paid any attention if I had announced I had Alzheimer’s.
But there is something fascinating about an author losing the power over words.”
– Terry Pratchett
“It occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases –
one was Alzheimers,
and the other was knowing I had Alzheimers.”
(Terry Pratchett)
