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
One is never wholly conscious of the greed hidden in one's heart until one hears the sweet sound of silver.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

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
