"We are willing to believe anything other than the truth."

Philosophy

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"The haunting of history is ever present in Barcelona. I see cities as organisms, as living creatures. To me, Madrid is a man and Barcelona is a woman. And it's a woman who's extremely vain."

Culture

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"It is impossible to survive in a prolonged state of reality."

Existence

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"Man's meanness is a fuse in search of a flame."

Behavior

Quote_1.png
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"Whether we realize it or not, most of us define ourselves by opposing rather than by favoring something or someone. To put it another way, it is easier to react than to act. Nothing arouses a passion for dogma more than a good antagonist. And the more unlikely, the better. It's difficult to hate an idea. It's much easier to hate someone with a recognizable face whom we can blame for everything that makes us feel uncomfortable. It doesn't have to be an individual character. It could be a nation, a race, a group anything."

Behavior

Quote_1.png
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"Our world will not die as the result of the bomb, as the papers say, it will die of laughter, of banality, or making a joke of everything, and a lousy joke at that."

Humor

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"The only way you can truly get to know an author is through the trail of ink he leaves behind him. The person you think you see is only an empty character: truth is always hidden in fiction."

Literature

Quote_1.png
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"Those places where sadness and misery abound are favoured settings for stories of ghosts and apparitions. Calcutta has countless such stories hidden in its darkness, stories that nobody wants to admit they believe but which nevertheless survive in the memory of generations as the only chronicle of the past. It is as if the people who inhabit the streets, inspired by some mysterious wisdom, relalise that the true history of Calcutta has always been written in the invisible tales of its spirits and unspoken curses."

Mystery

Quote_1.png
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"As I walked, I ran my fingers along the spines of hundreds of books. I let myself be imbued with the smell, with the light that filtered through the cracks or from the glass lanterns embedded in the wooden structure, floating among mirrors and shadows."

Learning

Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we're awake."
