The government was to raise the duty on cheese to 83 percent, an unpopular move that would doubtless have the more militant citizens picketing cheese shops.
Jasper Fforde
History has rewritten itself so many times I'm not really sure how it was to begin with -- it's a bit like trying to guess the original color of a wall when it's been repainted eight times.
Jasper Fforde
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. After all, the reader is doing all the work - the writer might have died long ago.

The fun one can have writing books about books is limitless, to be honest.

It wasn’t going to be hard…it was going to be impossible. It wouldn’t deter me. I'd done impossible things several times in the past, and the prospect didn’t scare me as much as it used to.

We all make mistakes at some time in our lives, some more than others. It is only when the cost is counted in human lives that people really take notice.
Jasper Fforde
If the real world were a book, it would never find a publisher.

Death and the end of one's life are two very different things indeed.

Love isn't sensible, Red. I think that's the point.

You see? I know where every single book used to be in the library. She pointed to the shelf opposite. Over there was Catch-22, which was a hugely popular fishing book and one of a series, I believe.
Jasper Fforde
Humans like stories. Humans need stories. Stories are good. Stories work. Story clarifies and captures the essence of the human spirit. Story, in all its forms—of life, of love, of knowledge—has traced the upward surge of mankind. And story, you mark my words, will be with the last human to draw breath.
Jasper Fforde
Sometimes, a word succeeds beyond the wildest dreams of its creators, like a virus sent into the world to infect common speech.

Apart from the faint odor of ink that pervaded the scene, it might have been real.
Jasper Fforde
Writing is a subtle art that is reached mostly by self-discovery and experimentation.

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