Jasper Fforde
Scientific thought - indeed, any mode of thought, whether it be religious or philosophical or anything else - is just like the fashions that we wear - only much longer lived. It's a little like a boy band.
Jasper Fforde
Without unscrambled eggs, there was no time travel, no more depredation of the Now, and we could look to a brighter future of long-term thought--and more reading.
Jasper Fforde
You many have noticed I have a temper ... but when I calmed down, I realized that this world, blighted and imperfect as it is, would be better with you in it.
Jasper Fforde
Humpty had always sat on walls, it was his way.
Jasper Fforde
Ordinary adults don't like children to speak of things that are denied them by their own gray minds.
Jasper Fforde
