However dead a past love may be, new lovers are much...upset by them.
Los amores pasados siempre ofenden a los amantes nuevos, por muy muertos que estén aquéllos.

More quotes by Javier Marías
Everything persists and continues on its own, even if you yourself decide to withdraw.
Every illness is caused by something which is not an illness.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
