“Ending a novel is almost like putting a child to sleep—it can't be done abruptly.”
Colm Tóibín

Nick Cave
“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Nick Cave

Agustina Bessa-Luís
“São os espíritos superficiais que mais crêem nos êxitos retumbantes, nas fórmulas fáceis para vencer, pois isso lhes lisonjeia a incapacidade e a fraqueza de vontade.Os lances engenhosos, em que se torce a moral para obter um mais rápido efeito, conseguem grande público.Mas a vida, cujas leis são infinitamente mais sóbrias, mais puras que as dos homens, não as aceita”
Agustina Bessa-Luís, A Sibila

Eça de Queirós
“- Falhamos a vida, menino!
- Creio que sim... Mas todo o mundo mais ou menos a falha. Isto é, falha-se sempre na realidade aquela vida que se planeou com a imaginação. Diz-se: «vou ser assim, porque a beleza está em ser assim». E nunca se é assim, é-se invariavelmente assado, como dizia o pobre marquês. Ás vezes melhor, mas sempre diferente.”
José Maria Eça de Queirós, Os Maias

Nick Cave
“All of our days are numbered; we cannot afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all because the worth of the idea never becomes apparent until you do it. Sometimes this idea can be the smallest thing in the world, a little flame that you hunch over and cup with your hand and pray will not be extinguished by all the storm that howls about it. If you can hold on to that flame great things can be constructed around it that are massive and powerful and world changing – all held up by the tinniest of ideas.”
Nick Cave
