• ·       “It’s curious how easy it is to tell a piece of paper what you don’t dare say to someone’s face.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

  ·       “Someone once said that the moment you stop to think about whether you love someone, you’ve already stopped loving that person forever.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

  ·       “I believe that nothing happens by chance. Deep down, things have their own secret plan, even though we don’t understand it.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

  ·       “Youth is like a fickle girlfriend. We can’t understand or value her until she goes off with someone else, never to return.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

  ·       “Wars have no memory, and nobody has the courage to understand them until there are no voices left to tell what happened, until the moment comes when we no longer recognize them and they return, with another face and another name, to devour what they left behind.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

  ·       “Not evil. Moronic, which isn’t quite the same thing. Evil presupposes a moral decision, intention, and some forethought. A moron or a lout, however, doesn’t stop to think or reason. He acts on instinct, like a stable animal, convinced he’s doing good, that he’s always right, and sanctimoniously proud to go around f*cking up…anyone he perceives to be different from himself, be it because of skin color, creed, language, nationality, or…leisure habits. What the world needs is more thoroughly evil people and fewer borderline pigheads.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón

  ·       “Our body begins to destroy itself from the moment it is born. We are fragile. We’re creatures of passage. All that is left of us are our actions, the good or the evil we do to our fellow humans.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón
