"In some village in La Mancha, whose name I do not care to recall there lived a hobbit. And, as Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into an enormous insect"
This is just one way to read the dozens of post-it's that kids, moms, grandpas, lonely strollers had left in Casa de la Ciencia by yesterday twilight. All of these people surely were book lovers. Their favourite quotes, captured on humble slips of paper, made up a kaleidoscope of a thousand meanings - and each of them was absurd.
And now we've got a little bit of everything:
...classic quotes: to be or not to be, that is the question - William Shakespeare
... irony: life is too important to be taken seriously - Oscar Wilde
... poetry: The moon lives in the lining of your skin - Pablo Neruda
... philosophy: God doesn't play dice - Albert Einstein
Also we've got quotes from films (as "Carmina o revienta"), in English, German and even from the Spanish Constitution!
And you sure can guess who was the most remembered author. Quite so, the recent death of Gabriel García Márquez has absolutely concussed our hearts, and our visitors didn't hesitate to pay a tribute to him by recalling famous quotes from "One hundred years of solitude".
What do you think? Who would you quote next year?
