Quotes by Ariano Suassuna (?)

“Valha-me Nossa Senhora, Mãe de Deus de Nazaré! A vaca mansa dá leite, a braba dá quando quer. A mansa dá sossegada, a braba levanta o pé. Já fui barco, fui navio, mas hoje sou escaler. Já fui menino, fui homem, só me falta ser mulher.”
― Ariano Suassuna, Auto da Compadecida

“É verdade, o cachorro morreu. Cumpriu sua sentença e encontrou-se com o único mal irremediável, aquilo que é a marca do nosso estranho destino sobre a Terra, aquele fato sem explicação que iguala tudo o que é vivo num só rebanho de condenados, porque tudo que é vivo morre.”
― Ariano Suassuna, Auto da Compadecida
