Jasper Fforde Quotes

Goodness is weakness, pleasantness is poisonous, serenity is mediocrity and kindness is for losers. The best reason for committing loathsome and detestable acts – and let's face it, I am considered something of an expert in this field – is purely for their own sake. Monetary gain is all very well, but it dilutes the taste of wickedness to a lower level that is obtainable by almost anyone with an overdeveloped sense of avarice. True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good – Picture Quote #1

If you expect me to believe that a lawyer wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream, I must be dafter than I look Picture Quote #1

I'm sure it's not all hot buttered crumpets out there in the breathing world of asphalt and heartbeats Picture Quote #1

Bowden Cable is the sort of honest and dependable operative that is the backbone of SpecOps. They never win commendations or medals and the public has no knowledge of them at all. They are all worth ten of people like me Picture Quote #1

It's somewhat bizarre to learn that many of you think that other humans are somehow different enough to be hated and killed when in reality you're all tiresomely similar in outlook, needs and motivation, and differ only by peculiar habits, generally shaped by geographical circumstances Picture Quote #1

Marriage, like spinach and opera, was something I had never thought I would like Picture Quote #1

Sometimes your destiny takes you to dark places where you'd rather not be, but destiny, as they say, is destiny Picture Quote #1

Well, each interpretation of an event, setting or character is unique to each of those who read it because they clothe the author's description with the memory of their own experiences. Every character they read is actually a complex amalgam of people they've met, read or seen before - far more real than it can ever be just from the text on the page. Because every reader's experiences are different, each book is unique for each reader Picture Quote #1
