The Angel's Game

Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Top 10 Best Quotes

“I don't suppose you have many friends. Neither do I. I don't trust people who say they have a lot of friends. It's a sure sign that they don't really know anyone.”

“Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.”

“Don't be afraid of being scared. To be afraid is a sign of common sense. Only complete idiots are not afraid of anything.”

“I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.”

“Envy is the religion of the mediocre. It comforts them, it soothes their worries, and finally it rots their souls, allowing them to justify their meanness and their greed until they believe these to be virtues. Such people are convinced that the doors of heaven will be opened only to poor wretches like themselves who go through life without leaving any trace but their threadbare attempts to belittle others and to exclude - and destroy if possible - those who, by the simple fact of their existence, show up their own poorness of spirit, mind, and guts. Blessed be the one at whom the fools bark, because his soul will never belong to them.”

“Do you know the best thing about broken hearts? They can only really break once the rest is just scratches.”

“Silence makes idiots seem wise even for a minute.”

“Poetry is written with tears, fiction with blood, and history with invisible ink.”

“We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we're awake.”

“I swim against the tide because I like to annoy.”
