A story is a letter that the author writes to himself, to tell himself things that he would be unable to discover otherwise.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
All I know is that once Julián told the kids in the building that he had a sister only he could see. He said she came out of mirrors as if she were made of thin air and that she lived with Satan himself in a palace at the bottom of a lake.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Memories are worse than bullets.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Write, he said. I'll write to you as soon as I get there, answered Julian. No. Not to me. Write books. Not letters. Write them for me, for Penelope.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Silence makes idiots seem wise even for a minute.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Nobody had noticed, nobody had paid attention, but, as usual, the essential part of the matter had been settled before the story had begun, and by then it was too late.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
It’s a story of love, of hatred, and of the dreams that live in the shadow of the wind.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
As I walked, I ran my fingers along the spines of hundreds of books. I let myself be imbued with the smell, with the light that filtered through the cracks or from the glass lanterns embedded in the wooden structure, floating among mirrors and shadows.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
In small towns, news travels at the speed of boredom.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Those were the words she wanted to hear and she finally surrendered to the temptation of believing them.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Don't be afraid of being scared. To be afraid is a sign of common sense. Only complete idiots are not afraid of anything.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
People talk too much. Humans aren't descended from monkeys. They come from parrots.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
