edit data

Há várias espécies de libelinhas na Comporta. A Serra da Arrábida, ao fundo, parece coberta de um véu translúcido. Está muito calor, neste início de Setembro. Vou adiando a hora de sair da sombra que me protege destes inclementes 37 graus. Ouço norueguês, talvez norueguês, da mesa à frente, a música lounge é repetitiva, não se resolve, as vozes das pessoas agradam-me

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”

“Although it might be heuristically useful to bear in mind what one has actually observed, in principle, he argued, 'it is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone'. 'In reality the very opposite happens. It is the theory which decides what we can observe.”
― Manjit Kumar, Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality
