	[No title]
		Leonard De Quirm strode confidently across the garden; his path pointed more or less straight toward the place where Haverlock Vetinari was playing with his scruffy old dog.
		Leonard could be dangerous if he ever turned his attention to human beings instead of natural science and mechanisms.
		Every one of the members of the City Watch dived behind something that was designed by Leonard De Quirm to make life easier for everyday man. They all knew from experience what a gonne was capable of and this one was an order of magnitude worse than even their vivid imaginings.

		Leonard of Quirm was sketching when the Patrician unlocked the door of his large room and entered.
		'Leonard of Quirm (the Elder), Sophia of Quirm (his wife), Leonard of Quirm (the younger) (his son)...' The list of assorted aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents was rather long.
		Leonard was standing beside the door when Lord Vetinari opened it, holding a red envelope which he handed bashfully to the Patrician.

		Leonard is a man of indeterminate age, balding and with a long beard.
		Originally from Quirm, he moved to Ankh-Morpork a long time ago and is currently a permanent guest of the Patrician.
		It is this naivity that has led to his imprisonment by the Patrician, lest someone other than him make use of the man's genius.

		Eigentlich ist Leonard Maler, aber am Rand seiner Zeichnungen findet man immer wieder Gekritzel, von Skizzen für z.
		Leonard ist in den falschen Händen eine Waffe, weshalb ihn der Patrizier auch in einen Raum hat einsperren lassen, zu dem nur er den Schlüssel hat.
		Doch leonard fühlt sich keineswegs als Gefangener, denn gibt man ihm ein wenig Material zum basteln und Ruhe,dann ist er glücklich.

	The Trouble with Books
		Leonard was now engaged in building a new version of the Kite, but because he was Leonard, his work was punctuated by the spontaneous invention of other things.
		But the self-portrait was as-yet unfinished because, mid-sketch, Leonard had glanced at his reflection in the hand-mirror he was using, shouted that Ephebian word that meant "Bring me a towel!", snatched up the mirror and dashed to the other end of his workshop.
		Leonard's rather greasy face, wearing an expression that suggested he'd been brought not only a towel, but someone rather nice to dry his hair for him while he scrawled down his theory of buoyancy, appeared from behind a Device.

		Leonard of Quirm is not so much old as old-looking - his head has risen up through his hair like the dome of a mountain, and he's one of those fellows who gives the impression of being an absentminded old fellow regardless of his actual age.
		For the Patrician, Leonard is that most precious of things: a confidant.
		He doesn't understand politics in the slightest, and has no interest in Ankh-Morpork, and as such the Patrician can talk to himself while Leonard listens.

		Leonard is Ankh-Morpork's Leonardo da Vinci, whom Vetinari keeps locked away in the basement, as much for his own protection as for everyone else's.
		Leonard is one of those scientists who believes that his inventions could never be used for evil.
		When Nobby suggests that Leonard's "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely-Device" could be used to sink ships, Leonard is horrified that anyone would think of such a thing.

		Leonard of Quirm is a caricature of of Leonardo da Vinci.
		His most famous works are situated on the Ankh Morpork palace grounds: the garden maze so tiny that visitors get lost looking for it and the trout lake 150 yards long and 1 inch wide.
		I'm going back to Melbourne for my last year of study and i thought it would be a god way to document life as a student on a budget.

	The Last Hero -- Terry Pratchett
		And so the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork turns to the wizards of Unseen University and to Leonard of Quirm[2] to figure out how to stop Cohen.
		And so Leonard, Captain Carrot of the Watch and Rincewind, the reluctant wizard[3] set out in the Discworld's first spacecraft to orbit the Disc and get there in time to stop Cohen and company.
		Unlike the usual Discworld adventure, this is a large-format book with illustrations by Paul Kidby[5], and the illustrations (while not essential to the story) are hilarious and complement Pratchett's inspired satirical insanity brilliantly.

		The da Quirm family is known for its eccentrics, such as Ponce da Quirm, who spent his entire life, from cradle to grave, looking for the Fountain of Youth.
		However, the family's breeding has struck a new milestone in Leonard, who designs siege engines in his sleep and whose scale-model rockets occasionally metamorphise into coffee percolators if he gets thirsty while building them.
		Leonard's inventions turn up as early as Wyrd Sisters, and Leonard himself gets down to (and redesigns) brass tacks in:

	Allscifi.com Book Review
		The Last Hero is a Discworld Book about Cohen the Barbarian, who decides to give back what the first hero stole from the gods.
		Rincewind, Captain Carrot and Leonard da Quirm go to stop Cohen from destroying the world, but on the way they explore what is underneath the disc and become the first people from the Disc to land on the moon.
		It's interesting because Terry Pratchett has mixed the greek myth about Prometheus, the moon landing and Leonardo da Vinci's inventions all together adding a little bit of magic and humour to create one of the best books he has written.

		It would not be until Leonard of Quirm invented his far-famed computing machine and licensed its look-and-feel aspects to Steve Jobs that Diane's mighty destiny as a typist would be fulfilled.
		There came a day when Wayland's hopeless apprentice looked up into the sky and saw something fly over, glinting bright in the westering sun.

		It's a huge mish-mash of characters that will be familiar to Pratchett fans: Lord Vetinari, Captain Carrot, Mustrum Ridcully, Rincewind, Leonard da Quirm, the Librarian, Ponder Stibbons...
		I also enjoyed seeing more of Leonard da Quirm (another minor character) in action.
		An inventor extraordinare, he's a gentle soul with a surprising talent for creating the most vicious bits of machinery known to man. His innovation is stunning, but unfortunately, things don't always work in real life as they do on paper...

		Two of the people who had been transported to the Disc by Leonard's strange mirror were crossing the grass towards him.
		Carrot, Angua and Lord Vetinari made their way along the secret corridor to the cell where Leonard of Quirm worked in blissful ignorance of anything that happened in the outside world.
		They found him staring excitedly through his mirror, where Commander Vimes, Throat Dibbler and `that scruffy little dog that goes around with Foul Ole Ron and that crew` were visible in the company of those who had appeared in the University Library a few weeks previously.

		Leonard of Quirm is a brilliant fellow in a series of novels by Terry Pratchett.
