“- Não sei... não sei. .. Tu é que resolves. Eu morreria de tédio numa
colina como Nova Itália.(...)Não queiras saber a angústia que eu sentia quando via anoitecer. E note-se que andávamos sempre metidos em festas.
- A gente foge da solidão quando tem medo dos próprios pensamentos,
da própria memória...
- Talvez...
- Mas se tu soubesses como a solidão nos pode enriquecer...
Eugênio encolheu os ombros. A palavra solidão lembrava-lhe estranhamente a sua angústia de entaipado das noites de tempestade.”

“Foolishness? No, It’s Not
Sometimes I spend all day trying to count the leaves on a single tree. To do this I have to climb branch by branch and write down the numbers in a little book. So I suppose, from their point of view, it’s reasonable that my friends say: what foolishness! She’s got her head in the clouds again.
But it’s not. Of course I have to give up, but by then I’m half crazy with the wonder of it — the abundance of the leaves, the quietness of the branches, the hopelessness of my effort. And I am in that delicious and important place, roaring with laughter, full of earth-praise.”

“O ato de partir é o mais corajoso e o mais belo. Estar só, ser livre de necessidades, ser ignorada, estrangeira e nativa em todos os lugares e caminhar, solitária e grande, à conquista do mundo.”

“In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be.”

“You have broken my heart. Just as well. Now I am learning to rise above all that, learning the thin life, waking up simply to praise everything in this world that is strong and beautiful always—the trees, the rocks, the fields, the news from heaven, the laughter that comes back all the same. Just as well. Time to read books, rake the lawn in peace, sweep the floor, scour the faces of the pans, anything. And I have been so diligent it is almost over, I am growing myself as strong as rock, as a tree which, if I put my arms around it, does not lean away.”
