After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as they do for the writer - perhaps more.

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.

Love isn't sensible, Red. I think that's the point.
Jasper Fforde
If only life were that simple if one could jump to the good parts and flick through the bad.
Jasper Fforde
True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good - and we all know how rare that is.

Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
Jasper Fforde
He spent his life immersed in books to the cost of everything else, even personal relationships. Friends, he'd once said, are probably great, but I have forty thousands friends of my own already, and each of them needs my attention.

I don't need you to agree with me, she said quietly. I'll go away happy with a little bit of doubt. Doubt is good. It's an emotion we can build on. Perhaps if we feed it with curiosity it will blossom into something useful, like suspicion - and action.
