Jasper Fforde

"PDR: Persons of Dubious Reality; refugees from the collective consciousness. Uninvited visitors who have fallen through the grating that divides the real, from the written. They arrive with their actions hardwired due to their repetitious existence and the older and more basic they are, the more rigidly they stick to them. Characters from cautionary tales are particularly mindless; they do what they do because it's what they've always done.And it's our job to stop them."

"If I'm surprised at where I'm at, it's probably because I'm not listening to the reality that listening to the voices that I've listened to have put me here. So, maybe I should be less surprised and more disappointed."

"True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good--and we all know how rare that is..."

Morality

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"Now and again. Good residency is about having the power to ask someone to do something, but not necessarily exercising it."

Leadership

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"I got mixed up with some oddness in my youth, and the long and short of it is that I can't shuffle off this mortal coil until I have read the ten most boring classics."

Commitment

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"I'm sure it's not all hot buttered crumpets out there in the breathing world of asphalt and heartbeats."

Reality

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"Those that can be troubled to muse upon the meaning of life are general disappointed when they figure it out."

Meaning

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"For myself, I favored the abstract. I collected not just obsolete terms and words, but ideas."

Ideas

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"What is without dispute...is that the readers need [the BookWorld] just as much as we need them-to bring order to their apparent chaos, if nothing else."

Reading

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"She wasn't the only one to be physically morphed by reader expectation. Miss Havisham was now elderly whether she liked it or not, and Sherlock Holmes wore a deerstalker and smoked a ridiculously large pipe. The problem wasn't just confined to the classics. Harry Potter was seriously pissed off that he'd have to spend the rest of life looking like Daniel Radcliffe."

Identity

Quote_1.png
Jasper Fforde
"I liked him, but since his particular field of interest was Remote Suggestion--the skill of projecting thoughts into people's heads from a distance--I didn't know whether I actually liked him or he was just suggesting I like him, which was both creepy and unethical. In fact, the whole Remote Suggestion or "seeding" idea had been banned once it was discovered to be the key ingredient in promoting talent less boy bands, which had until then been something of a mystery."

Ethics

Jasper Fforde
"In fact, the room was so quiet you might have heard a drop of paint splash."
