“Men tell stories. Women get on with it. For us it was a shadow war. There were no parades for us when it was over, no medals or mentions in history books. We did what we had to during the war, and when it was over, we picked up the piece and started our lives over.”

“Estadista era o Salazar certo? Um patife que viveu sustentado por um sistema de vigilância criminoso e enganador, porque dava a impressão de controlar toda a gente, mas só exercia esse controlo apertado sobre os de sempre - os mais pobres e mais desprotegidos.

― Ashley Poston, The Dead Romantics

Before I even see him, my heart starts singing its favorite song”
― Emily Henry, Happy Place
