Luis Sepúlveda
“Nunca confies na memória porque está sempre do nosso lado: suaviza a atrocidade, dulcifica a amargura, põe luz onde só houve sombras. A memória tende sempre à ficção.”
Luis Sepúlveda, A sombra do que fomos

Rosa Lobato de Faria
“Conforta-me pensar que a vida não começa nem acaba aqui. Um dia regressaremos ao lugar de onde viemos, um lugar de repouso e de paz, um lugar livre de mágoas. Mas quantos lugares de dor teremos de atravessar para alcançá-lo? Quanta tristeza, quanto sofrimento, quanta crueldade no destino do Homem! E se o mundo é repleto de maravilhas é só para não perdermos de vista a morada original, que nos aguarda ao fim dos nossos doze trabalhos de Hércules, e a que os poetas e os místicos chamam paraíso e eu chamo, simplesmente, amor. As guerras fazem-se para alcançar a paz, ensinaram-nos durante séculos. (...)O sofrimento serve para alcançar a bem-aventurança, invento eu, para não morrer de desespero.”
Rosa Lobato de Faria, A Trança de Inês

Georges Duby
“Es el hombre vivo lo que hay que buscar bajo el polvo de los archivos y en el silencio de los museos.”
Georges Duby

Vladimir Nabokov
“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Patricia Highsmith
“My imagination functions much better when I don't have to speak to people.”
Patricia Highsmith
