    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “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.”

    Frank Herbert
    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

    “Friends.
    They aren’t any such thing as good friend or bad friend.
    Maybe there are just friend.
    People who stand by you when you're hurt and who helped you feel not so lonely.
    Maybe there are worth being scared for and hoping for and living for.
    Maybe worth dying for too.
    If that what has to be.
    No bad friends.
    Only people you want.
    Need to be with.
    People who build their houses in your heart.”
