More quotes by Javier Marías
We lose everything because everything remains except us. And therefore any form of posterity may be an affront, and perhaps any memory, as well.
Javier Marías
People only get married when they've no other option, out of panic or desperation or so as not to lose someone they couldn't bear to lose. It's always the most conventional things that contain the largest measure of madness.
Javier Marías
Life is a very bad novelist. It is chaotic and ludicrous.
Javier Marías
Superstition is just another form of thought like any other, a form that accentuates and regulates the association of ideas, it's an exacerbation, an illness, but, in fact, all thought is sickness, which is why no one ever thinks too much, at least most people do their best not to.
Javier Marías
One of the best possible perspectives from which to tell a story is that of a ghost, someone who is dead but can still witness.
Javier Marías
Illusions are important. What you foresee or what you remember can be as important as what really happens.
Javier Marías
