“The world turns and the world spins, the tide runs in and the tide runs out, and there is nothing in the world more beautiful and more wonderful in all its evolved forms than two souls who look at each other straight on.

― Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair

“Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.”
― Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair

“And I realized: souls don't stand alone. What makes a soul a soul is the shared burden and pain, the shared joy: it's the connection between us that carries on.”
― Christina Meldrum, Amaryllis in Blueberry
