Jasper Fforde Quotes

Pretend to be mad and talk a lot. Then - and this is the important bit - do nothing at all until you absolutely have to and then make sure everyone dies Picture Quote #1

The Kingdom of Hereford was unique in the Ununited Kingdoms for having driving tests based on maturity, not age, much to the chagrin of a lot of males, some of whom were still failing to make the grade at thirty two Picture Quote #1

Marriage is an honorable estate and should not be used simply as an excuse for legal intercourse Picture Quote #1

If you ever think you might want a career in politics, Inspector, think again. It's merely a continuous and mostly vain attempt to keep several groups of people with opposing needs and agendas happy, and knowing in your heart of hearts that you cannot, and being lambasted for you hard work in the bargain Picture Quote #1

You have many fine qualities that I admire. But you are out of time. You should have been born a century ago, when values such as yours meant something Picture Quote #1

Humans like stories. Humans need stories. Stories are good. Stories work. Story clarifies and captures the essence of the human spirit.

Her areas of expertise are bar codes, book titles and maps - she has an original Parker Brothers map of the world Picture Quote #1

Lesson one in time travel, Thursday. First of all, we are all time travellers. The vast majority of us manage only one day per day 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

Governments and fashions come and go but Jane Eyre is for all time. I would give everything to ensure the novel's survival Picture Quote #1

Everything comes to an end. A good bottle of wine, a summer's day, a long-running sitcom, one's life, and eventually our species. The question for many of us is not that everything will come to an end but when. And can we do anything vaguely useful until it does? Picture Quote #1

If only life were that simple; if one could jump to the good parts and flick through the bad Picture Quote #1

There is much unexplained in the world. It behoves one to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, along comes string theory, collateralised debt obligations or Björk's new album, and bam! You're as confused as you were when you first started Picture Quote #1

This is fiction, and the truth is whatever you make it. You can interpret the situation in any way you want, and all of the scenarios could be real - and what's more, depending on how you act now, any one of them could become real Picture Quote #1

Prices of semicolons, plot devices, prologues and inciting incidents continued to fall yesterday, lopping twenty points off the TomJones Index Picture Quote #1

Ninjas are far more important to science than anyone realises. If we could capture one to study, I think most of science's biggest puzzles might be resolved Picture Quote #1

So my humor, I’d say, comes from a mixture of lowbrow comedy shows and highbrow theater. It’s an interesting mix Picture Quote #1

People who read my books have an open mind when it comes to new, bizarre, interesting and exciting ideas Picture Quote #1

I work very much on the principle that anything created by mankind has mischief and error hardwired into its inception Picture Quote #1

Apart from the faint odor of ink that pervaded the scene, it might have been real Picture Quote #1
