She waited for the train to pass. Then she said, I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.
Haruki Murakami (via thepeakofeloquence)
Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.
Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (via darkmeadow)
Once, in my father’s bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later - no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget - we will return.
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón (via analysethis)
Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.
The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafón (via fyeahliteraryquotes)
La humanidad ha evolucionado en los últimos siglos, pero los cambios son lentos porque en las ultimas décadas hemos perdido la capacidad de comunicarnos con eficacia ya que aun compartiendo las mismas ideas no somos capaces de comunicarlas y por eso no hacemos nada, o lo que hacemos es solos, olvidando que unidos se obtienen los resultados con mayor prontitud.
