GALDOS
"Así como de la noche nace el claro del día, de la opresión nace la libertad"
"Imagen de la vida es la novela y el arte de componerla estriba en reproducir los caracteres humanos, las pasiones
las debilidades, … Todo esto sin olvidar que debe existir perfecto fiel de balanza entre la exactitud y la belleza de la reproducción".
