    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “Una historia es un laberinto infinito de palabras, imágenes y espíritus conjurados para desvelarnos la verdad invisible sobre nosotros mismos. Una historia es, en definitiva, una conversación entre quien la narra y quien la escucha, y un narrador solo puede contar hasta donde le llega el oficio y un lector solo puede leer hasta donde lleva escrito en el alma.
    Esa es la regla maestra que sostiene todo artificio de papel y tinta, porque cuando se apagan las luces, se silencia la música y se vacía el patio de butacas, lo único que importa es el espejismo que ha quedado grabado en el teatro de la imaginación que alberga todo lector en su mente. Eso y la esperanza que todo hacedor de cuentos lleva dentro: que el lector haya abierto su corazón a alguna de sus criaturas de papel y le haya entregado algo de sí mismo para hacerla inmortal, aunque solo sea por unos minutos.”
    Carlos Ruiz Zafón, El laberinto de los espíritus

    “Once upon a time, each of us was somebody's kid.

    Everyone had a father, even if he never provided anything more than his seed.

    No matter how we're eventually raised, all of our stories begin the exact same way.

    They all end the same, too.”
    Brian K. Vaughan, Saga, Volume 1
