Jasper Fforde
“Fanfiction isn't copying - it's a celebration. One long party, from the first capital letter to the last full stop!”
Jasper Fforde, One of Our Thursdays Is Missing

“Since my house burned down
I now have a better view
of the rising moon”
Mizuta Masahide

“Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.”
Hendrik Hertzberg

William  Martin
“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
William Martin, The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents

Jasper Fforde
“Reading, I had learned, was as creative a process as writing, sometimes more so. When we read of the dying rays of the setting sun or the boom and swish of the incoming tide, we should reserve as much praise for ourselves as for the author. After all, the reader is doing all the work - the writer might have died long ago.”
Jasper Fforde, First Among Sequels
