Caitlín R. Kiernan
“Gente morta, ideias mortas e supostamente momentos mortos nunca estão mortos de verdade e eles moldam cada momento das nossas vidas. Nós os ignoramos e isso os torna poderosos.”
Caitilín R. Kiernan

Julio Cortázar
“Go ahead, deny up and down that the delicate act of turning the doorknob, that act which may transform everything, is done with the indifferent vigor of a daily reflex. See you later, sweetheart. Have a good day.

Tighten your fingers around a teaspoon, feel its metal pulse, its mistrustful warning. How it hurts to refuse a spoon, to say no to a door, to deny everything that habit has licked to a suitable smoothness. How much simpler to accept the easy request of the spoon, to use it, to stir the coffee.”
Julio Cortázar, Cronopios and Famas

Umberto Eco
“Losers, like autodidacts, always know much more than winners. If you want to win, you need to know just one thing and not to waste your time on anything else: the pleasures of erudition are reserved for losers. The more a person knows, the more things have gone wrong.”
Umberto Eco, Numero Zero: An Acclaimed Political Thriller Unraveling Mussolini's Conspiracy, Media Hoaxes, and Italian History

Caitlín R. Kiernan
“O que mais tememos não é o conhecido. O conhecido, por mais horrível ou prejudicial à existência, é algo que podemos compreender. Sempre podemos reagir ao conhecido. Podemos traçar planos contra ele. Podemos aprender as suas fraquezas e derrotá-lo. Podemos nos recuperar de seus ataques. Uma coisa tão simples quanto uma bala poderia ser suficiente. Mas o desconhecido desliza através de nossos dedos, tão insubstancial quanto o nevoeiro.”
Caitlín R. Kiernan, The Drowning Girl

Neil Gaiman
“I am not scared of bad people, of wicked evildoers, of monsters and creatures of the night. The people who scare me are the ones who are certain of their own rightness. The ones who know how to behave, and what their neighbors need to do to be on the side of the good.”
Neil Gaiman, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances
