More quotes by Jasper Fforde
A missing arm might ruin your symmetry. Personal asymmetry where I come from is a big taboo and brings great shame on the family and sometimes even the whole village.

Jasper Fforde
Her majesty is one verb short of a sentence.

Death and the end of one's life are two very different things indeed.
Jasper Fforde
I didn't set out to discover a truth. I was actually sent to the Outer Fringes to conduct a chair census and learn some humility. But the truth inevitably found me, as important truths often do, like a lost thought in need of a mind.

That's the thing about destiny: It can't be predicted, and it's usually pretty odd.

To a great extent, I still write for myself, write what amuses me. Fortunately, I have a quirky sort of strange sense of humor that appeals to other people and that's good. I still sort of write for myself though there are some areas of the book I feel I have to put in and I feel I have to deliver.
