“Nunca vi muito sentido ter que assumir minha sexualidade para as pessoas, como se fosse algo relevante sobre o meu caráter. Pra mim, é o mesmo que dizer "Eu sou negro" ou "Eu não gosto de pizza de quatro queijos". Mas isso não quer dizer que tenha sido fácil.”
― Felipe Barenco, Fake

“A minha vida amorosa é tipo uma cantada no The Voice: quem eu quero, não vira a cadeira. Quem vira, eu não quero. Quando mais de um vira, escolheu errado. Quando tô carente, ninguém vira; quando tô namorando, todos viram ao mesmo tempo.”
― Felipe Barenco, Fake

“So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“The answer is that it does not matter what you think, the monster said, because your mind will contradict itself a hundred times each day. You wanted her to go at the same time you were desperate for me to save her. Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both.”
― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls
