Sometimes I don't know whether I'm thening or nowing.

Jasper Fforde
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
Jasper Fforde

Jasper Fforde
True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good - and we all know how rare that is.
Jasper Fforde
Don't let anyone tell you the future is already written. The best any prophet can do is to give you the most likely version of future events. It is up to us to accept the future for what it is, or change it. It is easy to go with the flow it takes a person of singular courage to go against it.
Jasper Fforde
Sometimes choice is a luxury that fate does not afford us.
Jasper Fforde
Marriage is an honorable estate and should not be used simply as an excuse for legal intercourse.
Jasper Fforde
You nearly killed eight people! I managed to gasp out loud. My count was closer to twelve, returned Havisham as she opened the door. And anyhow, you can't nearly kill someone. Either they are dead or they are not.
