“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. You take all the things you want from a person -- sexual chemistry, let's say, or good conversation, or financial support, or intellectual compatibility, or niceness, or loyalty -- and you get to pick three of those things. The rest you have to look for elsewhere. It's only in the movies that you find someone who gives you all those things. But this isn't the movies. In the real world, you have to identify which three qualities you want to spend the rest of your life with, and then you look for those qualities in another person. That's real life. Don't you see it's a trap? If you keep trying to find everything, you'll wind up with nothing.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“- Era mi biblioteca. Ahora es tuya. Sólo tuya.
Tengo ganas de llorar y me aguanto. Sé cuánto ama sus libros. Mis libros. Me estaba regalando la imaginación, la pasión, la aventura, los pensamientos de otros, sus sueños, sus desgracias, sus anhelos. Ahora también son míos.
Uno se hace hombre, se hace más humano, cuando tiene su propia biblioteca, aunque sea un solo libro.
Tengo mi lanza masai, mi Bar Mitzvá, mi rito de iniciación aborigen, mi diario, mi pluma de halcón. Tengo origen y destino. Ya lo tengo todo. Me queda claro.”
― Benito Taibo, Persona normal

“Good books don't give up all their secrets at once.”
― Stephen King
