To truly hate is an art one learns with time.Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Man...heats up like a lightbulb: red hot in the twinkling of an eye and cold again in a flash. The female, on the other hand...heats up like an iron. Slowly, over a low heat, like tasty stew. But then, once she has heated up, there's no stopping her.
Carlos Ruiz Zafón

As if I believed that with that kiss I could deceive time and convince it to pass us by, to return some other day, some other life.
Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Books are like mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.
