“Eran días de irresponsable plenitud, de felicidad imperceptible.”
Eduardo Mendoza, La verdad sobre el caso Savolta

“الإشتراكيون - وهم حمقى - يعتقدون أنه يمكن تسوية كل شيء بالثورة؛ يقولون هذا لأنهم يفكرون بأن استغلال الإنسان للإنسان يحدث مرة واحدة فقط، وأنه عندما يتحرر المجتمع ممن يحكمونه اليوم فستتم تسوية كل شيء ..
أما نحن فنعرف أنه حيث توجد علاقة من أي نوع سيكون هناك استغلال من القوي للضعيف ..

Eduardo Mendoza

“Ik weet niet wat een concubine is en ook niet wat je ermee in bad kunt doen. Ik dacht dat het een spons was.”
Eduardo Mendoza, El asombroso viaje de Pomponio Flato
