Quotes by Carmen Laforet (?)

“Me parece que de nada vale correr si siempre ha de irse por el mismo camino, cerrado, de nuestra personalidad. Unos seres nacen para vivir, otros para trabajar, y otros para mirar la vida. Yo tenia un pequeño y ruin papel de espectadora. Imposible salirme de él. Imposible libertarme. Una tremenda congoja fue para mí lo único real en aquellos momentos.”
― Carmen Laforet, Nada

“¿Quién puede entender los mil hilos que unen las almas de los hombres y el alcance de sus palabras?”

“Yo no busco en las personas ni la bondad ni la buena educación siquiera..., aunque creo que esto último es imprescindible para vivir con ellas. Me gustan las gentes que ven la vida con ojos distintos que los demás, que consideran las cosas de otro modo que la mayoría... Quizá me ocurra esto porque he vivido siempre con seres demasiado normales y satisfechos de ellos mismos...”
― Carmen Laforet, Nada
