“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

“This is the trouble with history. You can't see what's not there. You can look at an empty space and see that something's missing, but there's no way to know what it was.”
― Naomi Alderman, The Power

“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
