Few things are more deceptive than memories. - Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

"As it unfolded, the structure of the story began to remind me of one of those Russian dolls that contain innumerable ever-smaller dolls within. Step by step the narrative split into a thousand stories, as if it had entered a gallery of mirrors, its identity fragmented into endless reflections."

"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens."

"There are few reasons for telling the truth, but for lying the number is infinite."

"Few things are more deceptive than memories."

"I still remember the day my father took me to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books for the first time."
