“Jovens e nus frente ao mar, estão presentes em cada célula do seu corpo. Mas a vida que têm é demais para eles e não sabem que fazer dela. Emergem da água rutilantes e riem. Depois deitam-se na areia, gastam o dia e a noite a amar-se, a embebedar-se, a estoirar todo o prazer e forças que têm. E ficam ainda com vida por gastar. É desses sobejos já com bolor que terão de viver depois na velhice.”
― Vergílio Ferreira

“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person--without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.”
― Osho

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
― Osho
