“As perguntas não me incomodam muito, creio, o problema está em exigirem resposta, com efeito, se as perguntas não requeressem uma resposta, duvido que me irritassem, na verdade, acho que as interrogações me exasperam meramente porque exigem uma resposta.”

João Reis, Se com Pétalas ou Ossos
“…he was always asking me questions and more questions... I suppose I'm not too bothered by questions, the problem is that they need to be responded to, in fact, if questions didn't have to be answered, I doubt they would irritate me at all…”
João Reis, The Devastation of Silence
“Como é advogado, sabe que a justiça não funciona.”
João Reis, The Translator's Bride
