Quotes by Dan Jacobson (?)

“Os Erros, como a Palha, flutuam à superfície;
Aquele que proura Pérolas deve mergulhar mais fundo.”
― Dan Jacobson, All for Love

“People are what they do. They are what they say. They are what they want. They are what they remember and what they have forgotten; the motives they reveal and the motives they try to hide. They are their bodies, their voices, the movements of their eyes and hands. Beneath these and other such manifestations of selfhood, it is impossible to go. The "reasons" why people are as they are will always remain hidden not only from outsiders but from themselves too.”
― Dan Jacobson, All for Love
