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."

"One loves truly only once in a lifetime, Julian, even if one isn’t aware of it."

"Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen."

"Few things are more deceptive than memories."
