Lewis Carroll
“Curiouser and curiouser!”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Jasper Fforde

Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey

Margaret Mitchell
“In the dull twilight of the winter afternoon she came to the end of a long road which had begun the night Atlanta fell. She had set her feet upon that road a spoiled, selfish and untried girl, full of youth, warm of emotion, easily bewildered by life. Now, at the end of the road, there was nothing left of that girl. Hunger and hard labor, fear and constant strain, the terrors of war and the terrors of Reconstruction had taken away all warmth and youth and softness. About the core of her being, a shell of hardness had formed and, little by little, layer by layer, the shell had thickened during the endless months.”
Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

Jasper Fforde
“Acceptable rules of conduct were suspended when it came to the spoon shortage. The deficit had gotten so bad that prices were all but unaffordable, and dynastic spoon succession had become a matter of considerable interest. Spoons were even postcode engraved and carried on one's person to eliminate theft, and good table manners, one of the eight pillars upon which the Collective was built, had been relaxed to allow tea to be stirred - shockingly - with the handle of a fork.”
Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey

Jasper Fforde
“1.1.19.02.006: Team sports are mandatory in order to build character. Character is there to give purpose to team sports.”
Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey
