“The better you know someone the less understandable they become. That's what intimacy is - not a threshold of knowledge but a capitulation to ignorance, an acceptance that another person is made as bewildered and ungovernable by her life as you are by yours.”
― Anthony Marra, Mercury Pictures Presents

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Όλοι οι συγγραφείς ξέρουν καλά ότι για να σχηματίσουν έστω μια ιδέα περί αλήθειας πρέπει να διασχίσουν μια ολόκληρη θάλασσα από ψέματα. Αυτό είναι το παράδοξό τους.”

“La lectura silenciosa es en cierto modo una conquista; quienes leemos en silencio y en soledad aprendemos, justamente, a estar solos, o mejor dicho reconquistamos una soledad menos agresiva, una soledad vaciada de angustia; nos sentimos poblados, multiplicados, acompañados mientras leemos en silenciosa soledad sonora.”
― Alejandro Zambra, Literatura infantil
