“Somewhere, far, far away, there's a shitty island. An island without a name. An island not worth giving a name. A shitty island with a shitty shape. On this shitty island grow palm trees that also have shitty shapes. And the palm trees produce coconuts that give off a shitty smell. Shitty monkeys live in the trees, and they love to eat these shitty-smelling coconuts, after which they shit the world's foulest shit. The shit falls on the ground and builds up shitty mounds, making the shitty palm trees that grown on them even shittier. It's an endless cycle.”

“Segundo ele, o coração do homem era como a terra, metade iluminado pelo sol e metade pela sombra. (...) «Uma parte de nós vive cá em baixo e outra tende para as alturas. Viver é apenas ter consciência disso, sabê-lo, lutar para que a luz não desapareça, vencida pela sombra. Desconfie de quem é perfeito», dizia-me, «de quem tem as soluções já prontas no bolso, desconfie de tudo excepto daquilo que o coração lhe disser.»”
