“All of my horses are called Roach.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, Sword of Destiny

“I could never resist the temptation of having a look at something that doesn't exist.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“In fact I don't think of literature, or music, or any art form as having a nationality. Where you're born is simply an accident of fate. I don't see why I shouldn't be more interested in say, Dickens, than in an author from Barcelona simply because I wasn't born in the UK. I do not have an ethno-centric view of things, much less of literature. Books hold no passports. There's only one true literary tradition: the human.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafon

“We learn from failure, not from success!”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula
