“I was raised among books, making invisible friends in pages that seemed cast from dust and whose smell I carry on my hands to this day.”
— Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow Of The Wind

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”
