Carlos Ruiz Zafon

• Few things are more deceptive than memories.
• Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen.
• Human beings believe just as they breathe - in order to survive.
• Keep your dreams, you never know when you might need them.
• Making money isn't hard in itself... What's hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one's life to.
• Never trust he who trusts everyone.
• Nothing important is learned; it is simply remembered.
• Over time, loneliness gets inside you and doesn't go away.
• People tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.
• Poetry is written with tears, fiction with blood, and history with invisible ink.
• Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.
• So long as we are being remembered, we remain alive.
• The moment you stop to think about whether you love someone, you've already stopped loving that person forever.
• The most efficient way of rendering the poor harmless is to teach them to want to imitate the rich.
• There are few reasons for telling the truth, but for lying the number is infinite.
• There are no second chances in life, except to feel remorse.
• We all give up great expectations along the way.
• We are willing to believe anything other than the truth.
