“The point of stories is not that they are objectively true, but that the soul of the story is truer than reality. Those who mock fiction do so because they fear the truth.”
― Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold

“Pero él llevaba la literatura por bandera. Solía decir que los libros le habían enseñado lo que la vida no. Que tenia mas vidas que un gato porque, tan sólo abrir un libro, un día podía ser pirata, otro, un niño de la calle y oto, un caballero presto a la batalla. Ese amor por las letras puede salvar al mundo, de verdad que sí.”
― Elvira Sastre, Días sin ti

“Take a drink every time you hear you’re not enough.
Not the right fit.
Not the right look.
Not the right focus.
Not the right drive.
Not the right time.
Not the right job.
Not the right path.
Not the right future.
Not the right present.
Not the right you.
Not you.
(Not me?)
There’s just something missing.
From us.
What could I have done?
Nothing. It’s just…
(Who you are.)
I didn’t think we were serious.
(You’re just too…
…sweet.
…soft.
…sensitive.)
I just don’t see us ending up together.
I met someone.
I’m sorry
It’s not you.
Swallow it down.
We’re not on the same page.
We’re not in the same place.
It’s not you.
We can’t help who we fall in love with.
(And who we don’t.)
You’re such a good friend.
You’re going to make the right girl happy.
You deserve better.
Let’s stay friends.
I don’t want to lose you.
It’s not you.
I’m sorry.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Mi ventana me dijo:
nunca esperes a alguien
que te ha prometido que volverá
pero sin decirte cuándo.”
― Nach, Hambriento
