Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already hav... - Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

"After a while it occurred to me that between the covers of each of those books lay a boundless universe waiting to be discovered while beyond those walls, in the outside world, people allowed life to pass by in afternoons of football and radio soaps, content to do little more than gaze at their navels."

"A story is a letter that the author writes to himself, to tell himself things that he would be unable to discover otherwise."

"The moment you stop to think about whether you love someone, you've already stopped loving that person forever."

"People talk too much. Humans aren't descended from monkeys. They come from parrots."

"Remember me, even if it's only in a corner and secretly. Don't let me go."
