"Once, in my father's bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later—no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget—we will return."
— Carlos Ruiz Zafón (The Shadow of the Wind)

"You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment and that you have to live each day like it's your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You're probably not gonna get hit by a bus. And you're gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years."

"I am not a smart man, particularly, but one day, at long last, I stumbled from the dark woods of my own, and my family's, and my country's past, holding in my hands these truths: that love grows from the rich loam of forgiveness; that mongrels make good dogs; that the evidence of God exists in the roundness of things. This much, at least, I've figured out. I know this much is true."
— Wally Lamb (I Know This Much Is True)

"He was fabulously wealthy, but he would pretend to be broke, and often tried to borrow cigarettes and money from people. Little did they know that those who gave him stuff would later be rewarded in his will, with jewels and antigravity helmets. Women who refused to have sex with him are probably wishing that they could turn back the clock and say yes."
— Jack Handey

"Un lucru pe care putem să-1 recunoaştem este că
frecventarea marilor opere, folosirea minţii proprii, citirea
lucrărilor unor genii, chiar dacă nu te face cu certitudine
inteligent, face riscul mai probabil. Desigur, există oameni
care au citit Freud, Platon, care ştiu să jongleze cu cuarci şi
să deosebească un şoim-călător de un vinde-reu, şi care
să fie nişte imbecili. Cu toate acestea, potenţial, în contact
cu o multitudine de stimuli şi lăsîndu-ţi spiritul să
frecventeze o atmosferă stimulatoare, inteligenţa găseşte
un teren favorabil dezvoltării ei, exact la fel ca o boală.
Căci inteligenţa este o boală.""
