“Without further ado I left the place, finding my route by the marks I had made on the way in. As I walked in the dark through the tunnels and tunnels of books, I could not help being overcome by a sense of sadness. I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.” UniverseSadnessBooksLibraryMemoryShadow Of The WindCarlos Ruiz ZafonThe Cemetery Of Forgotten Books Author:Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“The only thing I can recall is that it rained all day and all night, and that when I asked my father whether heaven was crying, he couldn't bring himself to reply. Six years later my mother's absence remained in the air around us, a deafening silence that I had not yet learned to stifle with words.” DeathMotherFatherHeavenGriefSilenceRainWordsAbsenceFuneralCryingRainyDemiseExpressionsSkiesThe Shadow Of The WindDaniel SempereThe Cemetery Of Forgotten BooksDefeaning Silence Book:The Shadow Of The Wind Source: The Shadow Of The Wind
