“Afundava a cara nos livros e se perdia em histórias. Quando levantava a cabeça achava tudo muito horrível, e sumia de novo, dentro de um livro qualquer.”
Martha Batalha, A Vida Invisível de Eurídice Gusmão

“Eurídice estava desrespeitando um dos princípios básicos do Estatuto do Vizinho, que diz que a felicidade de um grupo só é possível se todos nesse grupo se parecerem, nas contas bancárias e nas aspirações”
Martha Batalha, A Vida Invisível de Eurídice Gusmão

“Se Eurídice queria casar? Talvez. Para ela o casamento era algo endêmico, algo que acometia homens e mulhers entre dezoito e vinte e cinco anos. Tipo surto de gripe, só que um pouquinho melhor.”
Martha Batalha, A Vida Invisível de Eurídice Gusmão
