There are no second chances in life, except to feel remorse. - Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

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

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

"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."

"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."
