“Sin embargo, no le gusta la idea de verse ni que le vean, no soporta ir dejando rastro. «Los caracoles son animales muy bonitos, pero a la gente le dan asco por las babas que van dejando» suele decir Font, que si de algo es enemigo es de la nostalgia.”
Leticia Sánchez Ruiz, Los libros luciérnaga

Matt Haig
“It is easy to mourn the lives we aren't living. Easy to wish we'd developed other other talents, said yes to different offers. Easy to wish we'd worked harder, loved better, handled our finances more astutely, been more popular, stayed in the band, gone to Australia, said yes to the coffee or done more bloody yoga.
It takes no effort to miss the friends we didn't make and the work we didn't do the people we didn't do and the people we didn't marry and the children we didn't have. It is not difficult to see yourself through the lens of other people, and to wish you were all the different kaleidoscopic versions of you they wanted you to be. It is easy to regret, and keep regretting, ad infinitum, until our time runs out.
But it is not lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It's the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people's worst enemy.
We can't tell if any of those other versions would of been better or worse. Those lives are happening, it is true, but you are happening as well, and that is the happening we have to focus on.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Ángel González
“Hay que ser muy valiente para vivir con miedo.
Contra lo que se cree comúnmente,
no es siempre el miedo asunto de cobardes.
Para vivir muerto de miedo,
hace falta, en efecto, muchísimo valor.”
Ángel González , La primavera avanza

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I used to think soul mates were two of the same. I used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was like me. I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I'd believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn't, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who's suffering from the same stuff you are.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid , Daisy Jones & The Six

David Nicholls
“From an evolutionary point of view, most emotions - fear, desire, anger - serve some practical purpose, but nostalgia is a useless, futile thing because it is a longing for something that is permanently lost . . . .”
David Nicholls, Us
