Quote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

“—El hombre, como buen simio, es animal social y en él priva el amiguismo, el nepotismo, el chanchullo y el comadreo como pauta intrínseca de conducta ética —argumentaba—. Es pura biología.”

That was what she had really called for, She thanked me and hung up. I went to Casey, sobbing. Soon afterward, I closed the bank account and asked my mom to not ask me for any more gifts or money.

'For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.' And thus, one must never, ever forget God's grace, and always, always remember God's love.”

'The only thing I want to be called right now is your brother.' He added softly. 'If you'll have me.' She winked, even as her heart tightened unbearably. 'I'll think about it.”
