# Quote — Jasper Fforde, Lost in a Good Book

> “We’re fine, Joff. You?”
>
> “Not that good, Thurs. The Church of the Global Standard Deity has undergone a split.”
>
> “No!” I said with his much surprise and concern in my voice as I could muster.
>
> “I’m afraid so. The new Global Standard Clockwise Deity have broken away due to unresolvable differences over the direction in which the collection plate is passed round.”
>
> “Another split? That’s the third this week!”
>
> “Fourth,” replied Joffy dourly, “and it’s only Tuesday. The Standardized pro-Baptist conjoined Methodarian-Lutherian sisters of something-or-other split into two subgroups yesterday. Soon,” he added grimly, “there won’t be enough ministers to man the splits.”

> It wasn’t going to be hard—it was going to be impossible. It wouldn’t deter me. I’d done impossible things several times in the past, and the prospect didn’t scare me as much as it used to.
