“Acaso hemos hecho estéril el suelo por cuyo amor dimos la vida, al sembrarlo tan copiosamente con la cal de nuestros huesos.”
― David Uclés, La península de las casas vacías

“A sister is not a friend. Who can explain the urge to take a relationship as primal and complex as a sibling and reduce it to something as replaceable, as banal as a friend? Yet this status is used again and again to connote the highest intimacy. True sisterhood is not the same as friendship. You don't choose each other and there is no furtive period of getting to know each other. You are a part of each other, right from the start. Look at an umbilical cord—tough, sinuous, unlovely, yet essential—and compare it to a friendship bracelet of brightly woven thread. That is the difference between a sister and a friend.”
― Coco Mellors, Blue Sisters

“Cuando la felicidad es demasiado grande, cuando a uno le curan de una herida demasiado mala, cuando todo es demasiado bonito, sólo hay un presentimiento que un hombre sensato pueda tener: algo está a punto de joderse.”
― Lorenzo Silva, La flaqueza del bolchevique

“—Los libros son espejos: sólo se ve en ellos lo que uno ya lleva dentro”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, La sombra del viento
