Frases célebres de Nick Hornby

“A la mayoría de la gente le cabe en la cabeza el suicidio, supongo; la mayoría de la gente, aunque lo tenga muy oculto en lo más profundo de sí misma, puede recordar alguna vez en la vida en la que pensó si realmente quería despertar a la mañana siguiente. Querer morir parece una parte de estar vivo.”

Nick Hornby libro En picado

A Long Way Down

“¿Qué fue primero: la música o la tristeza? ¿Me dio por escuchar música porque estaba triste? ¿O es que estaba triste porque escuchaba música? ¿No te convierten todos esos discos en una persona de tendencia melancólica?
Hay quien se preocupa, y mucho, de que los niños pequeños jueguen con armas de fuego, de que los adolescentes vean vídeos en los que la violencia es moneda corriente; nos da miedo que esa esa especie de cultura de la violencia termine por tragárselos como si tal cosa. A nadie le preocupa en cambio que los niños escuchen miles, literalmente miles de canciones que tratan siempre de corazones destrozados, de rechazos y abandonos, de dolor, tristeza, pérdida. Las personas más desgraciadas que yo he conocido, románticamente hablando, son las que tienen un desarrollado gusto por la música pop. Y no sé si la música pop es la causante de esta infelicidad, pero sí tengo muy claro que han escuchado esas canciones infelices desde hace más tiempo del que llevan viviendo una vida más o menos infeliz. Así de claro.”

Nick Hornby About a Boy

About a Boy

“Ella pasó por una especie de Kramer contra Kramer en su día. Ya sabes, una de esas chaladuras presuntuosas en las que uno trata de averiguar quién demonios es.

- ¿Y al final averiguó quién era?

- No, no lo creo. Dudo mucho que alguien llegue a saber quién es de verdad, ¿no te parece?”
