“There's no obvious reason to assume that the very same rare properties that allow for our existence would also provide the best overall setting to make discoveries about the world around us. We don't think this is merely coincidental. It cries out for another explanation, an explanation that... points to purpose and intelligent design in the cosmos.”
Guillermo González“There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there's the super vampires, which are a new breed we've created.”
Guillermo del Toro“Watching a movie for the first time is a flirt. Rewatching it, is a date.”
Guillermo del Toro“Loneliness is not lack of company. Loneliness is lack of purpose.”
Guillermo Maldonado“I sensed that if I were ever to meet [Senator Orrin] Hatch face-to-face there would be little that we could agree upon. There was something about watching Hatch that reminded me of unpleasant, futile political arguments I had had in my life. I wondered whether such political disagreements did not issue from underlying, perhaps even innate.characteristics. Certainly, experience teaches us that when we encounter another person whom we instinctively dislike, constructive political dialogue is not likely to follow. Humans can intuitively sense through a variety of subtle clues (i.e., dress, accent, gestures) when another person possesses a mix of cultural and psychological characteristics that is so substantially different to our own that political discord is also likely. Put otherwise, a liberal can usually smell a conservative, and vice versa. Moreover, the smell is not a pleasant one.-- Red Genes, Blue Genes: Exposing Political Irrationality”

Guillermo Jimenez“I read the Odyssey because it was the story of a man who returned home after being absent for more than twenty years and was recognized only by his dog.”
Guillermo Cabrera Infante“I think there is a very quiet power in things that are not on screen.”
Guillermo del Toro“If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.”
Guillermo Cabrera Infante“Puns are a form of humor with words.”
Guillermo Cabrera Infante“I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.”
