“Ah, que ninguém me dê piedosas intenções!
Ninguém me peça definições!
Ninguém me diga: "Vam por aqui"!
A minha vida é um vendaval que se soltou.
É uma onda que se alevantou.
É um átomo a mais que se animou...
Não sei por onde vou,
Não sei para onde vou,
-Sei que não vou por aí!”
― José Régio, Não Vou Por Aí!
