Quotes
- “Life is a very bad novelist. It is chaotic and ludicrous.”
- “El que aquí cuenta lo que vio y le ocurrió no es aquel que lo vio y al que le ocurrió.”
- “Un imbécil detectivesco es un imbécil listo, un imbécil lógico, los peores, porque la lógica de los hombres, en vez de compensar su imbecilidad, la duplica y la triplica y la hace ofensiva.”
- “Nos condenamos siempre por lo que decimos, no por lo que hacemos.”
- “...sabe más de sí misma, que es el conocimiento que hace atractivas a las personas.”
- “Para mí este territorio es territorio de paso, pero se trata de un paso lo bastante dilatado para que deba procurarme lo que se llama un amor mientras estoy aquí.”

Article
Javier Marías Franco ( Spanish: [xaˈβjeɾ maˈɾias ˈfɾaŋko]; 20 September 1951 – 11 September 2022) was a Spanish author, translator, and columnist. Marías published fifteen novels, including A Heart So White (Corazón tan blanco, 1992), Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me (Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí, 1994) and the Your Face Tomorrow trilogy, widely regarded as his greatest achievement. In addition to his novels, he also published three collections of short stories and various essays. As one of Spain's most celebrated novelists, his books have been translated into forty-six languages and sold close to nine million copies internationally. He received several awards for his work, such as the Rómulo Gallegos Prize (1995), the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award (1997), the International Nonino Prize (2011), and the Austrian State Prize for European Literature (2011).
Marías studied philosophy and literature at the Complutense University of Madrid before going on to teach at several universities, including his alma mater, universities in Oxford and Venice, and Wellesley College in Massachusetts. In 1997, he was awarded the title of King of the Kingdom of Redonda by its predecessor Jon Wynne-Tyson for his understanding of the kingdom and for mentioning the story of one of its previous kings, John Gawsworth, in his novel All Souls (Todas las almas, 1989).
