More quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Waiting is the rust of the soul.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
If you really want to possess a woman, you must think like her, and the first thing to do is win over her soul. The rest, that sweet, soft wrapping that steals away your senses and your virtue, is a bonus.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I think today will be the day. Today our luck will change,' I proclaimed on the wings of the first coffee of the day, pure optimism in a liquid state.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
There are people you remember and people you dream of.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Whoever said that childhood is the happiest time of your life is a liar, or a fool.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
My wife and I were never happy here. Spain can be narrow-minded, and provincial. In LA you don't have to justify yourself. I think I will leave here again soon and move back there.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Men are like chestnuts they sell in the street: they're all hot and they all smell good when you buy them, but when you take them out of the paper cone you realise that most of them are rotten inside.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
He lost himself in the words and images conjured in his mind and for a while forgot ... He found himself flying among stars and planets.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Remember me, even if it's only in a corner and secretly. Don't let me go.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I don't care what happens in 100 years. I won't be around.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Are you not tempted to create a story for which men and women would live and die, for which they would be capable of killing and allowing them to be killed, of sacrificing and condemning themselves, of handling over their souls?
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I like to believe that storytelling transcends age limitations.
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
Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
You're as white as a nun's buttock. Are you all right?
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
It's only worth staying in bed if you're young and in good company.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Paris is the only city in the world where starving to death is still considered an art.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Once you lost all hope, time began to go faster and the senseless days deadened your soul.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
