God gives us life, but the world's landlord is the devil.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
One mustn't dream of one's future one must earn it.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
There are worse prisons than words.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Silence makes idiots seem wise even for a minute.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
It is impossible to survive in a prolonged state of reality, at least for human beings. We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we're awake.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Write, he said. I'll write to you as soon as I get there, answered Julian. No. Not to me. Write books. Not letters. Write them for me, for Penelope.
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
You end up becoming someone you see in the eyes of those you love.
