Mika Waltari
“‎La verdad es un cuchillo afilado, la verdad es una llaga incurable, la verdad es un ácido corrosivo. Por esto durante los días de su juventud y de su fuerza, el hombre huye de la verdad hacia las casas de placer y se ciega con el trabajo y con una actividad febril, con viajes y diversiones, con el poder y las destrucciones. Pero viene un día en que la verdad lo atraviesa como un venablo y ya no siente más el júbilo de pensar o trabajar con sus manos, sino que se encuentra solo, en medio de sus semejantes, y los dioses no aportan ningún alivio a su soledad.”
Mika Waltari, Sinuhe egyptiläinen

Martha Gellhorn
“I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother.”
Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters

Bob Marley
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
Bob Marley

Alexandre Dumas
“Abbe Faria: Here is your final lesson - do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence. God said, Vengeance is mine.
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God.
Abbe Faria: It doesn't matter. He believes in you. ”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo, V1

Victor Hugo
“Not seeing people permits us to imagine them with every perfection.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
