Olga conE

“As mãos são dois livros abertos, não pelas razões, supostas ou autênticas, da quiromancia, com as suas linhas do coração e da vida, da vida, meus senhores, ouviram bem, da vida, mas porque falam quando se abrem ou se fecham, quando acariciam ou golpeiam, quando enxugam uma lágrima ou disfarçam um sorriso, quando se pousam sobre um ombro ou acenam um adeus, quando trabalham, quando estão quietas, quando dormem, quando despertam.”
― José Saramago, Death with Interruptions

“Death went on, If I'd sent you, with your taste for expeditious methods, the matter would have been resolved, but times have changed a lot lately, and one has to update the means and the systems one uses, to keep up with the new technologies, by using e-mail, for example, I've heard tell that it's the most hygienic way, one that does away with inkblots and fingerprints, besides which it's fast, you just open up outlook express on microsoft and it's gone, the difficulty would be having to work with two separate archives, one for those who use computers and another for those who don't, anyway, we've got plenty of time to think about it, they're always coming out with new models and new designs, with new improved technologies, perhaps I'll try it some day, but until then, I'll continue to write with pen, paper and ink, it has the charm of tradition, and tradition counts for a lot when it comes to dying.”
― José Saramago, Death with Interruptions
