Marriage, like spinach and opera, was something I had never thought I would like.

Reading, I had learned, was as creative a process as writing, sometimes more so. When we read of the dying rays of the setting sun or the boom and swish of the incoming tide, we should reserve as much praise for ourselves as for the author.

The barriers between reality and fiction are softer than we think a bit like a frozen lake. Hundreds of people can walk across it, but then one evening a thin spot develops and someone falls through the hole is frozen over by the following morning.
Jasper Fforde
For a taste that's a bit more distinct, eat a bird before it's extinct.
Jasper Fforde
Cats aren't really friendly, they're just cozying up to the dominant life-form as a hedge against extinction.
Jasper Fforde
Sometimes, a word succeeds beyond the wildest dreams of its creators, like a virus sent into the world to infect common speech.
Jasper Fforde
What is there to forgive?. . .Ignore forgive and concentrate on living. Life for you is short far too short to allow small jealousies to infringe on the happiness which can be yours only for the briefest of times.
Jasper Fforde
That's the thing about destiny: It can't be predicted, and it's usually pretty odd.
Jasper Fforde
You have many fine qualities that I admire. But you are out of time. You should have been born a century ago, when values such as yours meant something.
Jasper Fforde
The best plans are always the simplest.
