Quotes by Alex Couto (?)

“Hoje em dia já não nos conhecemos sem um «o que é que fazes», o que além de nos tentar definir como trabalhadores, ainda se torna linguístico: somos o que fazemos, não estamos preparados para avaliar um humano inteiro sem dar o devido destaque à sua ocupação. Como se só valêssemos o que trabalhamos.”
― Alex Couto, Sinais de Fumo

“O senhor está a pôr-se a jeito para ser corrido do programa por dizer as verdades. Isto é arte, dizer a verdade é só para quem já tem estatuto.”

“Era o tempo das startups, das incubadoras de startups, das aceleradoras de startups e das aceleradoras de incubadoras. Quando a Troika bateu em força e a terra tremeu, os tugas tiveram de ser imaginativos e, meu Deus, ninguém vai conseguir acreditar na projeção destes projetos.”
― Alex Couto, Sinais de Fumo
