Most of us have the good or bad fortune of seeing our lives... - Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

"Few things are more deceptive than memories."

"In the shop we buy and sell them, but in truth books have no owner. Every book you see here has been somebody’s best friend."

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

"There are no second chances in life, except to feel remorse."

"Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you."
