“Nova dificuldade chegou-lhe ao espírito, soprou-a no ouvido do irmão. Provavelmente aquelas coisas tinham nomes. 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.”
― Graciliano Ramos, Vidas Secas

“I had a dream about you. We were in the gold room
where everyone finally gets what they want.
You said Tell me about your books, your visions made
of flesh and light and I said This is the Moon. This is
the Sun. Let me name the stars for you. Let me take you
there. The splash of my tongue melting you like a sugar
cube…We were in the gold room where everyone
finally gets what they want, so I said What do you
want, sweetheart? and you said Kiss me. Here I am
leaving you clues. I am singing now while Rome
burns. We are all just trying to be holy. My applejack,
my silent night, just mash your lips against me.
We are all going forward. None of us are going back.”
― Richard Siken

“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
