More quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Once you lost all hope, time began to go faster and the senseless days deadened your soul.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I could tell you it's the heart, but what is really killing him is loneliness. Memories are worse than bullets.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I leafed through the pages, inhaling the enchanted scent of promise that comes with all new books, and stopped to read the start of a sentence that caught my eye.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen.
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
It might have been that notion, or just chance, or its more flamboyant relative, destiny.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Sometimes I think that Darwin made a mistake and that in fact man is descended from the pig, because eight out of every ten members of the human race are swine, and as crooked as a hog's tail.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
You're as white as a nun's buttock. Are you all right?
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
There are times and places where not to be anyone is more honourable than to be someone.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
There are few reasons for telling the truth, but for lying the number is infinite.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Never trust girls who let themselves be touched right away. But even less those who need a priest for approval.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we're awake.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Who are the lunatics? The ones who see horror in the heart of their fellow humans and search for peace at any price? Or the ones who pretend they don't see what's going on around them? The world belongs either to lunatics or hypocrites. There are no other races on this earth. You must choose which one to belong to.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The moment you stop to think about whether you love someone, you've already stopped loving that person forever.
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
He didn't know whether we created God in our own image or whether God created us without quite knowing what he was doing. He believed that God, or whatever brought us here, lives in each of our deeds, in each of our words, and manifests himself in all those things that show us to be more than mere figures of clay.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
... deep down nobody is bad, only frightened.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I became a writer, a teller of tales, because otherwise I would have died... or worse.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
