I could tell you it's the heart, but what is really killing him is loneliness. Memories are worse than bullets.
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
There are people you remember and people you dream of.

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
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
People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Money is like any other virus: once it has rotted the soul of the person who houses it, it sets off in search of new blood.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The most efficient way of rendering the poor harmless is to teach them to want to imitate the rich.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
People talk too much. Humans aren't descended from monkeys. They come from parrots.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Life had taught her that we all require big and small lies in order to survive, just as much as we need air. She used to say that if during one single day, from dawn to dusk, we could see the naked reality of the world, and of ourselves, we would either take our own lives or lose our minds.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The only way you can truly get to know an author is through the trail of ink he leaves behind him. The person you think you see is only an empty character: truth is always hidden in fiction.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
A good liar knows that the most efficient lie is always a truth that has had a key piece removed from it.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
