Quote by José María de Eça de Queirós

"Man is not born for happiness; he is born to suffer and to die."

"The world is a stage where everyone plays a role, but few understand the script."

"Love is the greatest illusion, yet without it, life has no meaning."

"We spend our lives chasing shadows, forgetting the substance behind them."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
