Quote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

“La maggior parte degli uomini, inclusi quelli che osservavano per professione, confondevano il vedere con il guardare, e quasi sempre si soffermavano sui dettagli ovvi che velavano la lettura al di là di ciò che era irrilevante. Leandro diceva sempre che scomparire nello sguardo dell'avversario era un'arte il cui apprendimento poteva durare un'intera vita.”

“Description is what makes the reader a sensory participant in the story. Good description is a learned skill,one of the prime reasons you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It's not just a question of how-to, you see; it's a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.”

“Ketahuilah, nilai itu tidak ditentukan oleh pasar, melainkan oleh kesadaran kemanusiaan kita sendiri. Harga mengikuti suara massa, tapi nilai yang sesungguhnya mengikuti suara hati. Jika engkau hidup hanya untuk mengikuti pasar, maka nilaimu akan naik turun seperti grafik yang kehilangan arah. Tapi jika engkau hidup dari pusat kesadaranmu—dari karya, niat, kesungguhan dan kejujuran—maka engkau menjadi seperti emas sejati: ia mungkin terpendam dalam tanah, tapi tak pernah berkarat.”
