Carlos Ruiz Zafon
That's what happens when people reach old age nobody remembers they've been bastards too.
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
My childhood was surrounded by books and writing. From a very early age I was fascinated by storytelling, by the printed word, by language, by ideas. So I would seek them out.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The rain was still crashing down, angrily machine-gunning the large windows it poured through the gutters up in the tower and funneled along the flat roof, sounding like footsteps on the ceiling.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Wars have no memory, and nobody has the courage to understand them until there are no voices left to tell what happened.
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
Does the madman know he is mad? Or are the madmen those who insist o. Convincing him of his unreason in order to safeguard their own idea of reality?
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Whoever said that childhood is the happiest time of your life is a liar, or a fool.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I prefer you like this, when you're in a foul mood, because you tell the truth.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I think you judge yourself too severely, a quality that always distinguishes people of true worth.
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
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
One can convert only a sinner, never a saint.
