Carme

“I wanted very much not to be where I was. In fact part of the trouble seemed to be that where I was wasn’t anywhere at all. My life felt empty and unreal... I felt like I was in danger of vanishing, though at the same time the feelings I had were so raw and overwhelming that I often wished I could find a way of losing myself altogether, perhaps for a few months, until the intensity diminished.”
― Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone

“Ustedes sabrán en qué desperdician el tiempo y el dinero. Yo me quedo leyendo, que la vida es breve.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Angel's Game
