More quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I prefer you like this, when you're in a foul mood, because you tell the truth.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Normal people bring children into the world we novelists bring books. We are condemned to put our whole lives into them, even though they hardly ever thank us for it. We are condemned to die in their pages and sometimes even to let our books be the ones who, in the end, will take our lives.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
One mustn't dream of one's future one must earn it.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Where he had failed, I would triumph. Where he had lost his way, I would find the path out of the labyrinth.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.
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
They had parted as boys, and now life presented one of them with a fugitive and the other with a dying man. Both wondered whether this was due to the cards they'd been dealt or to the way they had played them.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Silence makes idiots seem wise even for a minute.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
To truly hate is an art one learns with time.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
In this world the only opinion that holds court is prejudice.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
While you're working, you don't have to look life in the eye.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Perhaps for that very reason, I adored her all the more, because of the eternal human stupidity of pursuing those who hurt us the most.
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
Why is it that all wars are won by bankers?
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.
