“Very prudent and very bourgeois. But you don't win a game by hitting the balls out of court. Why would you say that so many different beliefs have appeared and disappeared throughout history?'

'I don't know. Social, economic, or political factors, I suppose. You're talking to someone who left school at the age of ten. History has never been my strong point.'

'History is biology's dumping ground, Martin.'

'I think I wasn't in school the day that lesson was taught.'

'This lesson is not taught in classrooms, Martin. It is taught through reason and the observation of reality. This lesson is the one nobody wants to learn and is therefore the one we must examine carefully in order to be able to do our work. All business opportunities stem from someone else's inability to resolve a simple and inevitable problem.'

'Are we talking about religion or economics?'

'You choose the label.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Angel's Game
