“El libro ha superado la prueba del tiempo, ha demostrado ser un corredor de fondo. Cada vez que hemos despertado del sueño de nuestras revoluciones o de la pesadilla de nuestras catástrofes humanas, el libro seguía ahí. Como dice Umberto Eco, pertenece a la misma categoría que la cuchara, el martillo, la rueda o las tijeras. Una vez inventados, no se puede hacer nada mejor.”
― Irene Vallejo, El infinito en un junco

“Be careful. People like to be told what they already know. Remember that. They get uncomfortable when you tell them new things. New things…well, new things aren’t what they expect. They like to know that, say, a dog will bite a man. That is what dogs do. They don’t want to know that a man bites a dog, because the world is not supposed to happen like that. In short, what people think they want is news, but what they really crave is olds. I can see you’ve got the hang of it already.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Truth

“Personal feelings don't make for good politics, legal decisions, or business deals.”
― Roger Zelazny, Nine Princes in Amber

“the only people that inherited anything by right of birth were the congenital idiots.”
― Isaac Asimov, Foundation and Empire
