“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”

“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”

“Eu e Antônio estamos casados há vinte e seis anos. Nem sempre é bom, nem sempre é ruim. Desconheço a balança que mede isso. É o que é, aceito, rejeito, mas não escolho mais tirar de mim esse amor entranhado, pertence a lugares em mim que não mando mais. Não fico tomando conta, podia ser assim, podia ser assado, medindo com régua o que falta. Não quero viver sem Antônio, me caso todos os dias com ele, acordo e caso, depois faço o café. Tem dia que ele tá chato de doer, largo pra lá, vai ser chato longe de mim e pronto. Ele melhora sozinho, depois piora e torna a melhorar, e a gente vai assim tomando distância e diminuindo distância. Caminhando.”
