“Se, quando me acordavam, eu me lembrasse do prazer do matabicho assim de manhãzinha, eu acordava bem-disposto. Matabichar em Luanda, cuia! Há assim um fresquinho quase frio que dá vontade de beber leite com café e ficar à espera do cheiro da manhã. Às vezes mesmo com os meus pais na mesa, nós fazíamos um silêncio. Se calhar estávamos mesmo a cheirar a manhã, não sei, não sei.”

“Consulting maps can diminish the wanderlust that they awaken,as the act of looking at them can replace the act of travel. But looking at maps is much more than an act of aesthetic replacement. Anyone who opens an atlas wants everything at once, without limits--the whole world. This longing will always be great, far greater than any satisfaction to be had by attaining what is desired. Give me an atlas over a guidebook any day. There is no more poetic book in the world.”
