Paris is the only city in the world where starving to death is still considered an art.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
It's hard work, writing, you know. Honestly, a fight every day against your own limitations. You have to squeeze books out of your brain, you're constantly trying to solve challenges. I think most writers enjoy the feeling of having written something, rather than the process of writing it.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
To truly hate is an art one learns with time.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
There are worse prisons than words.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
It is part of our nature to survive. Faith is an instinctive response to aspects of existence that we cannot explain by any other means - be it the moral void we perceive in the universe, the certainty of death, the mystery of the origin of things, the meaning of our own lives or the absence of meaning.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I don't care what happens in 100 years. I won't be around.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
It's the student who makes the teacher, not the other way around.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
There are two things in life you cannot choose. The first is your enemies the second your family. Sometimes the difference between them is hard to see, but in the end time will show you that the cards you have been dealt could always have been worse.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
A good father. A man with a head, a heart, and a soul. A man capable of listening, of leading and respecting a child, and not of drowning his own defects in him. Someone whom a child will not only love because he's his father, but will also admire for the person he is. Someone he would want to grow up to resemble.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Whoever said that childhood is the happiest time of your life is a liar, or a fool.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
In those days, Christmas still retained a certain aura of magic and mystery. The powdery light of winter, the hopeful expressions of people who lived among shadows and silence, lent that setting a slight air of promise in which at least children and those who had learned the art of forgetting could still believe.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I always felt that I was a writer, that was what I had to do.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
somethings can only be seen in the shadows

-Do you think it's dirty money? -All money is dirty. If it were clean nobody would want it.
