“You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for.”

“Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You’re the only thing on this planet worth worshipping.”

“O menino mais novo interrogou-o com os olhos. Sim, com certeza as preciosidades que se exibiam nos altares da igreja e nas prateleiras das lojas tinham nomes. Puseram-se a discutir a questão intricada. Como podiam os homens guardar tantas palavras? Era impossível, ninguém conservaria tão grande soma de conhecimentos. Livres dos nomes, as coisas ficavam distantes, misteriosas. Não tinham sido feitas por gente. E os indivíduos que mexiam nelas cometiam imprudência. Vistas de longe, eram bonitas. Admirados e medrosos, falavam baixo para não desencadear as forças estranhas que elas porventura encerrassem.”
― Graciliano Ramos, Vidas Secas
