“After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as they do for the writer - perhaps more.”
― Jasper Fforde, The Well of Lost Plots

“What and how much had I lost by trying to do only what was expected of me instead of what I myself had wished to do?”

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

“From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.”
