    Paulo Coelho
    “Имате два избора: да завладеете со својата свест или да ддозволите таа да завладее со вас. Вторава можност ви е позната - им се имате препуштано на стравовите, на неврозите, на несигурностите - зашто на човекот му е всадена тенденцијата за самоуништување”
    Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “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 Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind

  • #16
    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “A writer never forgets the first time he accepted a few coins or a word of praise in exchange for a story. He will never forget the sweet poison of vanity in his blood and the belief that, if he succeeds in not letting anyone discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will provide him with a roof over his head, a hot meal at the end of the day, and what he covets the most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that surely will outlive him. A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because from then on he is doomed and his soul has a price.”
    Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Angel's Game

    Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind

  • #19
    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “In fact I don't think of literature, or music, or any art form as having a nationality. Where you're born is simply an accident of fate. I don't see why I shouldn't be more interested in say, Dickens, than in an author from Barcelona simply because I wasn't born in the UK. I do not have an ethno-centric view of things, much less of literature. Books hold no passports. There's only one true literary tradition: the human.”
    Carlos Ruiz Zafon

    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “She wore an ivory-white dress and held the world in her eyes. I barely remember the
    priest's words or the faces of the guests, full of hope, who filled the church on that March
    morning. All that remains in my memory is the touch of her lips and, when I half opened
    my eyes, the secret oath I carried with me and would remember all the days of my life.”
    Carlos Ruiz Zafon

    “[Carlos] Ruiz Zafon holds dear the belief that when you read a book, you take a holiday in the brain of the writer.”
    Helen Pitts

    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “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 Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

    What would we be without them?”
    Alexandra Potter, Don't You Forget About Me
