“Enquanto os padres, de parceria sacrílega, em São Paulo com o professor Mário de Andrade e no Rio com o robusto Schmidt, cantam e entoam, nas últimas novenas repletas do Brasil:
No céu, no céu
com "sua" mãe estarei! eu prefiro simplesmente me declarar enojado de tudo. E possuído de uma única vontade. Ser pelo menos, casaca de ferro na Revolução Proletária.
O caminho a seguir é duro, os compromissos opostos são enormes, as taras e as hesitações maiores ainda.
Tarefa heroica para quem já foi Irmão do Santíssimo, dançou quadrilha em Minas e se fantasiou de turco a bordo.
Seja como for. Voltar para trás é que é impossível. O meu relógio anda sempre para a frente. A História também.

Rio, fevereiro de 1933. OSWALD DE ANDRADE”
― Oswald de Andrade, Serafim Ponte Grande
