“What's a Somnubuvorus?'
'It looks like a cross between a boabab and a turnip, and about the size of a telephone box. It's actually not a plant at all but a fungus that releases puffs of hallucinogenic spores into the breeze. Anyone who inhales them suddenly becomes convinced that being near the Somnubuvorus will enlighten and enrich them with hard-hitting and devastatingly relevant social and political commentary. Then, of course, you are soon overcome with a sense of listlessness and torpidity, and fall fast asleep'.
'It sounds like what would happen if you weapoinised French cinema”
― Jasper Fforde, The Eye of Zoltar

“El inglés necesita de un verbo fatalista para emplear la expresión "enamorarse": to fall. O sea que el enamorado no exactamente asciende a un estado superior, sino al contrario: cae. Tropieza, se distrae, es entrampado. Cae, igual que Luzbel. Si Cristo hubiese dicho "Enamoraos los unos a los otros", ya estaríamos todos viviendo en el Infierno.”
― Xavier Velasco, Diablo Guardián

“When you're sorting yourself out, family are not often the ones you can turn to. They represent the place of departure and not the place of arrival.”
