The sea was cruel and selfish as human beings, and in its monstrous simplicity had no notion of complexities like pity, wounding, or remorse... You could see yourself in it... while the wind, the light, the swaying, the sound of the water on the hull worked the miracle of distancing, calming you until you didn't hurt anymore, erasing any pity, any wound, and any remorse.

Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Films are for everyone, collective, generous, with children cheering when the cavalry arrives. And they're even better on TV: two can watch and comment. But your books are selfish. Solitary. Some of them can't even be read, they fall to bits if you open them. A person who's interested only in books doesn't need other people, and that frightens me

Of all the universal lies she accepted unquestioningly, the happy ending was the most absurd. The hero and heroine lived happily ever after, and the ending seemed indisputable, definitive. No questions asked about how long love or happiness lasts in that 'forever' that can be divided into lifetimes, years, months. Even days

Lui e la sua barca hanno visto di tutto: il mare veramente brutto, quando Dio s'incazza, e quei lunghi, rossi tramonti mediterranei in cui l'acqua è uno specchio e la pace del mondo è la tua pace, e ti rendi conto di essere una goccia in un mare eterno.

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing. And when I want to know something, I look it up in books--their memory never fails

Go to quote


E' una di quelle notti in cui sei a bordo da cinque giorni egoisti che sembrano venti e tutto ciò che riguarda la terra sembra così lontano che non te ne frega un cazzo; e ti rendi conto che da un secolo non ascolti chiacchiere radiofoniche, non leggi un giornale, non guardi la tele, non ti parlano di politica nè di corruzione, non ti dicono sa com'è, e la vita continua il suo corso e non succede assolutamente nulla e ti domandi cosa si può fare, dove diavolo ha sbagliato l'Umanità.

She had discovered with surprise and pleasure that as she turned each page, the book was written, as if for the first time, all over again.

Cuando veo todas esas camisas negras, pardas, rojas o azules, exigiendo que te afilies a esto o aquello, pienso que antes el mundo era de los ricos y ahora va a ser de los resentidos.

Creo que en el mundo de hoy la única libertad posible es la indiferencia. Por eso seguiré viviendo con mi sable y mi caballo.
